Do you want to know how our 2025 adventure went? How we set off from Badalona and crossed beaches, mountains, and rivers on our way to the Pyrenees — and climbed the Taga with a cello?
Do you want to hear about our shared library, lovingly cared for by an artist?
Would you like to see our collection of handmade maps and cartographies, our treasures kept in little boxes, our travel journals, our stones our feathers and the testimony of hundreds of kilometres walked together?
Join us for this talk and we’ll share with you everything we know how to tell.
Introduced by Clara Gari who conceived El Grand Tour, an annual nomadic residency in the foothills of the Pyrenees. She will be joined by poet and travel narrative writer Marc Caellas, who devised special technique for each of the Grand Tour participants to record a journal of their travels, and brought a collective narrative in a workshop on the journey. You can read a copy of an article (only available in Spanish) he has since written of his reflections of his first Grant Tour experience.
Within the hour long event, there will be a report on progress in the WALC project, given by either Geert Vermeire and /or Yannis Ziogas.
