Solstice December 2024 – a provocation

The Solstice occurs on Saturday December 21st and marks the year’s shortest day in the Northern Hemisphere and the Longest Day in the Southern.
Solstice is seen as a significant time of year marked as a time of reflection, by festivals and rituals.

The Provocation

Artists are invited to respond to the event, making work that includes walking as a common factor.
The walk can be as long or as short as you determine, it can be indoors or outdoors and can take place whatever the weather and wherever in the world you happen to be.
Walks can take place at a time of your choosing or alternatively at at either or all these times  – exactly at sunrise, midday and sunset.
