Applications are now re-opened for the remaining sessions and modules of the WALC Online Course: Walking Arts & Local Communities. Free participation.
WALC invites artists, researchers, cultural workers, educators, and walkers into an international learning environment where walking becomes a method of artistic practice, ecological awareness, collective inquiry, and future-making. Across online sessions, shared practices, and collaborative experimentation, participants explore walking not simply as a theme, but as a way of learning, creating, mapping, listening, and relating.
The remaining sessions of the module Walking as a Critical Spatial Practice will focus on Lucius Burckhardt’s Promenadology (Spaziergangswissenschaft) and on Mapping / Counter-Mapping as artistic and critical spatial practices.
Throughout June, the module Walking in the Digital Age explores locative media, sound walking, walking with AI, digital commons, networked art, and collective artistic practices. Invited guest speakers and practitioners will share approaches that connect embodied walking with ecological thinking, relational practices, collaborative authorship, imagination, and future-making. One additional evening session on June 10 will focus specifically on Digital Walking.
The course culminates in participants developing their own walking inquiry and artistic research trajectory.
Participants joining the June sessions can also continue into the Project Lab & Living Archive workshops, rescheduled from September 19 to October 10, focusing on:
- Collaborative Mapping
- The Collective Digital Body
- Walking & Locative Media
- Walking & Ecological Intelligence
