• Wandering as a discipline
This paper examines walking art through a walkshop in Prespa, exploring wandering as a discipline that embraces uncertainty, failure, and connection with self, others, and the environment. It integrates sound, embodiment, drawings, and multimedia storytelling as methods for building attentive spaces, applied in a multidisciplinary master seminar fostering empathy and spatial awareness during the pandemic.

• Ascending into Trenches
Yannis Ziogas I wander in places visible and invisible. I find objects, I trace experiences, I foresee conditions of creativity. Where do I locate myself? I have been in places […]I have wondered in conditions and situations[…] And now I am here. Where is that here? Who do I find in this here?
Sentinel Species
People have long observed animals for signs of threatening hazards or evidence of impending environmental threats. These species, called sentinel species, are of great importance not only in “perceiving and bringing” the first signs and symptoms of the “climate crisis”, but also in “anticipating” it as sentinels. Sentinel Species Walking Encounter reverses the sentinel roles of humans and birds. Humans will enact the role of sentinels for the endangered bird species living in the area. Choosing Prespa as a location for the proposed Performance/Installation is no coincidence as Prespa is an environmentally protected area.
