Walking Arts and Local Community
Co-funded by the EU supporting international creation by research in the field of walking arts.
We are delighted for our fourth physical meeting, this time in Villefagnan, France 🎉
We are thankful to our partner Gigacircus @gigacircus for hosting us and preparing a hospitality feast for us all!
This video demonstrates the preparations of the feast that are going to take place on May 30th.
We will make sure to go live and let all of you join us from a distance.
But for now, big thanks to Sylvie @sylviegigacircus , Lionel @camburet , and Fred @fredadam!
We can't wait to meet you 🎉

It's time for Session 9 of our walc online course!
Join us this Saturday at 09:30 am CEST, as per usual, to learn about the art of mapping and counter-mapping.
Do you incorporate maps as part of your artistic research? Do you integrate them in your cultural work, or do you, maybe, use them as inspiration for your visual artworks?
Athanasia Tziona, part of UOWM and @wac_walking_arts_encounters will present maps as art objects while Tommaso Gorla, the founder and chief editor of the journal Anima Loci @anima_loci will bring diverse and unique maps to discuss with the attendees.
The session will conclude with a 45 min sensory mapping practice!

I say a sad farewell to Spain today. Thank you for having me as a guest, tourist for the past days. It was a privilege to walk here again. After the Walking Assembly on the Muga River I spent time in Valencia walking the Jardins del Turia park and by the sea. I also walked with teachers who were on strike! They’re asking for better pay and improved conditions in schools. Where have I done this before?👩🏻🏫 In Barcelona I walked streets that have become familiar! And went on a guided walk in the Gothic quarter of the Old Barcelona. We learned Old Barcelona has been a prolonged project of restoration and renovation since the early 1900’s. Now to fly to the USA to visit family and friends.

We continue the WALC course with the next session in the module Walking as a Critical Spatial Practice.
Tomorrow's session focuses on walking in urban environments and will include two presenters:
Miguel Bandeira Duarte @miguelbandeiraduarte from University of Minho @universidade_do_minho and the Land, Territory, and Herritage Laboratory, Lab2PT @lab2pt which organizes the annual The Walking Event @thewalkingbody.
Clementine Butler-Gallie, the artistic director of the Berlin-based ReRouting Project @_re_routing_ which is among our walc nodes.
After the 30min presentations of each speaker, Miguel and Clementine will utilize mobile applications so the attendees can take a walk and connect throughout the practice.

We’re looking for speakers 🌿
After Episode 1 on mental health and Episode 2 on physical health, we’re continuing our Walking & Health series with a focus on emotional health.
In a time that feels increasingly uncertain, we want to open space for emotions that are often labeled as “negative.” Even within these, some are more socially accepted than others. Walking with grief, for example, is deeply embedded in many cultures — think of collective mourning and funeral processions. But what about walking with anger?
Is protest the only form it takes?
What other ways can we walk with anger, alone or together?
And what might emerge from it?
If this resonates with your practice, we’d love to hear from you.
DM us to tell us about your work and you may be invited to join our panel.
Each session brings together 4 speakers, with equal time to share, followed by an open discussion.

Today's session will be held exceptionally at 16:30 CEST.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to Session 7, where a panel of 4 speakers will focus on collective memory walk. Through presentation of their practices, research, and a walkshop specifically designed for the course, Katerina Pistola @katerina.pistola , Stefania Veldimiri, Nikos Theodoropoulos @ns_theod , and Korinna Latèlis will engage the attendees in both theoretical and practical ways of working with communities.

“Danzar o morir” — to dance or to die.
We are excited for the third publication of a WALC article at Anima Loci journal @anima_loci.
In the Sierra Tarahumara of Mexico, the Ralámuli people move across vast canyon paths through long-distance running and ceremonial dance—practices that do not simply express life, but sustain it.
In this new article, Sylvie Marchand @sylviegigacircus opens a layered dialogue between the voice of Ralámuli poet Erasmo Palma and the writings of Antonin Artaud, who passed through the Sierra in 1936.
A text about movement as survival, healing, and cosmology.

We had a fantastic session yesterday!
As part of the session dedicated to walking and gender, we took a walk where we noticed what elements in our environment show presence or absence of care. Together, we imagined ways to restore care in our environments and we are happy to continue the conversation with our audience.
What shows care in your environment? Leave a comment with an example of care in your environment and where you are reporting from.
See you next week with a new walc course session!
Thank you Federica Rocchi @federoc80 and Katerina Pistola @katerina.pistola for this beautiful session.

Who's ready for WALC's online training SESSION 5?
The online course continues on April 18 with a session dedicated to Walking and Gender.
Together with PhD candidate at University of Western Macedonia, Katerina Pistola @katerina.pistola and Federica Rocchi
@federoc80
of Colletivo Amigdala @collettivoamigdala we will explore who has the right to their environment and we will reflect on how much space we occupy.
The session is scheduled to include a walkshop that urges us to trace care practices in our environments, so get ready for a walk session followed by a reflection!
We will finish with a brief presentation from Babak Fakhamzadeh on how to use the platform walk · listen · create @walklistencreate and make the best use of its online community.
