Writing / Drawing / Walking / Reflecting / Observing

Since 1990, Stefaan Van Biesen has documented his walks through drawings, evolving into installations, texts, videos, and photographs. Collaborating with writer Geert Vermeire for over 20 years, they merge walking, writing, and drawing, emphasizing collective creation. Their lecture/performance invites participants to co-create evolving works through walking and dialogue.

Wells in Sturt and Marion

Works by local poet Lance Thomas were integrated in art panels within Hamilton Park Reserve, speaking to issues around urban sprawl, the decline of local food production, the impact of engineering on the local waterways, and the rise of car use.

A walk across North London following The Pymmes Brook listening to voices of people talking about the river. Available in Sonic maps using following PUID codes Part 1: Cockfosters to Arnos Park. CODE 994 Part 2: Bowes Meadow to Cambridge Roundabout A10. CODE 1007

This sound walk follows the route of The Pymmes Brook Trail tracing the course of the urban river across North London. The audio comprises a ‘river of voices’ made up from people discussing their individual connection with the brook such as those who experienced Pymmes Brook as a childhood playground, studies of an aquatic ecologist and a community group who freely give their time looking after and cleaning up this watercourse.
The sound walk was made in collaboration with the community group ‘The Pymmes BrookERS’. The idea is that the sound walk may help to bring the river to life to help engage people with the situation of this and rivers in general.
