WAP/WAPC
programs and public engagements

WAPC/Walking As Practice Collective is a group of artists dedicated to traversing spaces to rethink and critique structural constraints. In motion, they challenge norms and propose the distribution of agency by employing acts of vulnerability as a strategy to build togetherness.

Their works from the WAP 23 and WAP 24 residency programs include the creation of walking scores. For individual works, please visit the Research Catalogue expositions below. The WAP Collective works with workshops, screenings, exhibitions, and presentations etc

“By embracing diverse relational approaches, we can create shared spaces where different perspectives are valued, and where the complexities of human and non-human relationships are acknowledged and respected.”
