Description
Walking Bodies: A Curated Collection of Papers, Provocations, and Actions from Walking's New Movements Conference. A collection of essays, provocations, artworks, and documentations that showcase the diversity and complexity of contemporary walking practices. Edited by Helen Billinghurst, Claire Hind, and Phil Smith, this book brings together a wide range of perspectives on the subject, including artists, activists, academics, and radical walkers. The conference, held in 2019, sparked a huge response and demand for tickets, reflecting a growing interest in walking as a practice that challenges assumptions about movement and the world around us. This book offers a glimpse into the latest developments in this field, highlighting anxieties, exclusions, and changes of direction, while also exploring new approaches to embodied practices that re-navigate terrains and challenge our understanding of the unhuman world.
