Walk / Create

Join to hear more about artworks submitted to a new online gallery

You are warmly invited to join us at this event where you will be able to hear from the project team, guest speakers and see the work of those who submitted artwork to the #WalkCreate Gallery as part of the Walking Publics/Walking Arts research project.As part of the project a call out was made for submissions of art which used walking as a method, tool, or creative resource, and which were created between March 2020 and May 2021. The <a href="https://walkcreate.gla.ac.uk/walkcreate-gallery/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">#WalkCreate Gallery</a> is a result of these submissions. It features 70+ artists, with over 120 images of artworks. The submissions took place across a wide variety of locations in the UK and showcase a diversity in form and approach. Please join us on Wednesday 3rd November, 7pm-8pm (GMT) to celebrate the work of the artists featured in our gallery and to hear more about the wider research project, Walking Publics/Walking Arts: walking, wellbeing and community during COVID-19. We are delighted to also be joined by guest speakers Stephanie Springgay (McMaster University), who will offer a response to the gallery, and Carole Wright (Blak Outside), who will share some of her own work on walking during COVID-19. This event will offer captioning, and we also ask during booking to let us know if there are any further requirements which would make this event more accessible and which we will do our best to accommodate. Background Walking Publics/Walking Arts: walking, wellbeing and community during COVID-19 is a collaborative research project led by Professor Dee Heddon at the University of Glasgow in collaboration with Professor Maggie O’Neill (University College Cork), Dr. Morag Rose (University of Liverpool), Clare Qualmann (University of East London) and Dr. Harry Wilson (University of Glasgow). An AHRC funded COVID rapid response project, Walking Publics/Walking Arts seeks to explore the relationship between walking and creativity, and the potential of the arts to sustain, encourage and more equitably support walking during and recovering from a pandemic.
