Join us for the second in a two-part series of experimental walking programs led by artist Dawn Matheson. Slow Walk to Nowhere Part II: The Green Path invites participants to engage in a walk guided not by intention or destination, but by the world around them. Set in the University of Guelph Arboretum, each walker will follow only external cues—a bird call, a shifting breeze, the direction of a falling leaf, a scent on the wind, or the orientation of a branch. These subtle signs become wayfinders in a slow drift shaped by the natural world.

Tell Me Your Name
"Tell Me Your Name" is a performative walk by Stefaan van Biesen and Geert Vermeire, for The Walking Body, inviting locals to poetically name wild plants. Through personal reflection and garden-style nameplates, participants challenge the notion of "weeds," fostering care for all living beings and deepening awareness of plant perception and communication.
