40 Walks Blog
The website 40walks.wordpress.com documents a project centered on urban walking as a form of artistic and cultural exploration. It features a series of walks—forty in total—undertaken in different locations, each detailed with photographs, maps, and reflective commentary. The project emphasizes the sensory, spatial, and historical dimensions of walking, positioning it as a method for engaging with urban environments beyond conventional tourism or transit. Throughout the site, there is attention to the interplay between landscape, architecture, and everyday life, revealing patterns and narratives embedded in the city fabric. The walks vary in scale and theme, often highlighting overlooked or marginalized aspects of the urban experience. This approach situates walking within broader contexts of cultural geography, urban studies, and creative practice, inviting viewers to consider mobility, place-making, and the politics of urban space.
