Description
Walking by Tom Jeffreys explores the intersection of art, walking, and writing in contemporary practice. The book examines the diverse voices and bodies of artists who incorporate walking into their work, foregrounding the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and other underrepresented artists. By investigating the relational practice of walking, Jeffreys reveals its inherent political nature, touching upon issues of access, public space, and land ownership. This anthology sheds light on the often-denied right to participate in public space, not only in the street or countryside but also in art discourse.
