The collective was formed to support each others practice, to do artistic research and to put our walking in to practice in various contexts such as community driven, exhibitions, research forums etc.

WAPC are the artists selected for specific public projects to represent WAPC. One is a member of the collective as one is actively involved in a project.

WAPC/Walking As Practice Coalition is a group of artists with an interest in traversing and transgressing through spaces and in this process rethinking and critiquing the social and ecological systems and structures we inhabit.   They 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. 

WAPC have a deep interest in methodologies that support critical discourse around the structural constraints we as artists, activists, and diverse cultural and gendered bodies each face. By doing so, they present critiques of normative structures and propose to better distribute social agency, through acts of vulnerability andtogetherness. The curatorial framework is designed to allow participating artists to influence its direction, leaning towards posthumanism and new materialism. This involves rethinking dualisms through a non-hierarchical approach. The first walkers met at Björkö (BKN) in The Northern Stockholm Archipelago, Sweden.

WAPC will continue to expand its public engagement through presentations, walks, and exhibitions by artists who participated in WAP. WAP considers the importance of walking as artistic research which has the capacity to explore notions of care, proximity, and ethical responsibility.  WAPC are located in several places on different continents and we in urban and rural areas.

Walking with proximity at times with humor, at times way more serious
