PUBLIC PROGRAM

Public Program Archipelago: August 7, 9, 10
Public Program City of Stockholm: Aug 13

During five days we cover a stretch of 74 kilometers (Landsort-Finnhamn) as we move through the south and mid Stockholm Archipelago, Sweden. We approach various local communities and focus on social imagination: walking as a way of thinking with the landscape, history, migration, memory and more-than-human worlds.   WAP26, entails public walks, individual and group elaborative walks in the archipelago Aug 6-11 and on Aug 13th then we have the public share session, walks and walk cafe.

Route: Landsort (2 nights), Nåttarö (1 night), Sandhamn (stop over) , Finnhamn, Ingmarsö ( we decide as we get there if we pitch tents on Finnhamn or Ingemarsö 2 nights- they are connected via a rowing boat trail)

WAPC engage walking as an art practice and as a methodology for critical creative inquiry. While in motion, each artist is examining ways to extend agency to others, place and the more-than human through acts of relational care and as a strategy for building togetherness.
