ROSÁRIO FORJAZ MWW_Made of WaLking WaLter_ 2020
It is proposed a walk that is a place of experimentation and shared representation. It will be done in silence, it will be slow, synchronous, oriented and also not. It will be open to a relational dialectic of the body with the place of permanence, discovery, escape, ephemerality, playfulness. Concepts of drift / permanence, synchrony / asynchronous, silence / listening are called.

LAURA APOLONIO The virtual “guide dog”: dialogical drifts
Invitation to walk a drift with a someone far away. The purpose of this walkshop is to create dialogical drifts between two geolocated people in different and preferably very distant locations. The participants are organized in pairs and each guides the other in the drift, as if it was a virtual guide dog, through communication by mobile messages. Introduction to the walkshop on July 22nd from 2 pm – 3 pm BST on Zoom, but open for participation from July 21st. If you want to walk with someone else on a distant location send an e-mail to: walk.lab2pt@gmail.com and we will connect you with the artist. In Spanish and in English.

HPU & ARTCARTO – A Sense of Impending Doom: a strata-walk for turbulent times – coordinated by TAIEN NG-CHAN
Taien Ng-Chan for the Hamilton Perambulatory Unit
July 2019, Emotional Cartography, Strata-Walk Map from Yoyogi Park, Tokyo
A Sense of Impending Doom: a strata-walk for turbulent times by the Hamilton Perambulatory Unit and the ICA Commission for Art and Cartography
For this walkshop, four members of HPU and ArtCarto – located in Canada, the US, and Australia – will lead participants through an investigation of the digital strata of Zoom and the intimate, analog materialities strata of one’s room (if in lockdown, as many still are) or wherever one happens to be. Starting in the centre of our collective Zoom and doom, we will explore our embodied emotions, networked places, and live speculative imaginings, mapping our way out to find the sky above us all. The resulting collective mappings will be constructed into an ad hoc art exhibition and all participants will share credit.
For participation send an e-mail to walk.lab2pt@gmail.com and we connect you with the artists.

ROSIE MONTFORD with MÓNICA FARIA – Weaving a Path/ go with me
‘Vade mecum’ is a Latin term meaning literally: go with me. It has been in use since 1629 to describe guidebooks or manuals compact enough that they can be carried in a deep pocket and to which constant reference can be made.
I propose to show the value of carrying such a book around with you as you follow a route:
Taking the concept of ‘vade mecum’, but transposing it from its origins as a personal book to instead becoming a collective fabric: we will individually work en route, sewing and threading a continuous strip of sewing canvas using thread, wool, string, cord and anything suitable we find, as well as drawing directly on to the canvas, using our pockets to carry materials.
We will weave a path that records the surfaces of our walk, the textile to become a shared medium through which the group can stitch and weave their own experience of encountering the environment as we individually and collectively meander through and along the passageways of our route.
You will need to be wearing clothing with accessible pockets in which to carry materials:
1m. length of canvas, 10cm. in height, sewing canvas or a strip of cotton
Pencil, felt tip, oil pastel, wide- eyed needle, sewing threads, cord, wool, string, raffia cut into manageable lengths, scissors.
Try and make it an early morning walk: Choose a route 1- 2 hours duration that includes narrow passages and alleyways. Use movement, fluidity and lightness of touch as you dart and dive between the streets. Make pauses to stop and record your route directly onto the fabric. On your return, you can elaborate further with more stitching and detail.
Email an image of your completed strip so that I can ‘stitch’ them together to form a shared continuous route to submit to the online exhibition. Please include your name and location for the piece. rosiemontford@hotmail.com.
