In this online café, we brought together four artists and practitioners working at the intersection of walking, health, and care to explore how walking is shaped by lived physical conditions. Rather than focusing on walking as an individual ability, we ask how walking becomes a practice of adaptation, resilience, negotiation, and relational care.
Through artistic practices, participatory projects, and lived experience research, our speakers will share how walking can be redefined when the body does not align with dominant norms of speed, independence, or productivity — and how walking arts can open space for different ways of moving.
Guests for this event are Genevieve Rudd (UK), Pam Patterson (CAN), Leena Raudvee (CAN) and Katerina Pistola (GK)
