WALKING + ART

walkingaspractice.org is about the relation between art and walking and to engage in new projects. It is Walking as ArtForm but also Walking As Practice. We engage with urban and rural settings.

• WAP can be seen as a way to explore the intersection of art, landscape, and movement
• It involves a critical and reflective approach to walking, where the walker becomes an artist and the landscape becomes a canvas.
• WAP can be used as a tool for social commentary, environmental awareness, and community engagement.
• WAPC/Walking As Practice Collective is a group of artists dedicated to traversing spaces to rethink and critique systematic constraints. In motion, they challenge norms and propose the distribution of agency by employing acts of vulnerability as a strategy to build togetherness.
• WAP=Walking As Practice
• WAP program as a residency was initiated in 2023 at BKN in Sweden.

WAP/Walking As Practice program initiated 2023 by Berg Duo

ANTONIA AITKEN

co-curator WAP24 September Edition, participant of WAP23
My creative research practice is informed by critical place theory, walking, and a material knowledge of printmaking and drawing. My work considers walkingand drawing based methodologies as forms of critical inquiry and dialogue with place. As a settler-descendent living in Australia, the challenge of how to address the complexities of walking unceded territories is a fundamental question.  How can walking enable re-conceptualisations of place that nurture ethical relations? I am a recognized tertiary educator and have taught Printmaking, Drawing and Critical Practices at the University of Tasmania for the past ten years. My work is held in significant public collections, and I have exhibited and undertaken residencies nationally and internationally.

Her WAPC commitment drives the ambition to make a print publication of WAP during 2025. Co-Curator
