Ernesto Pujol here combines elements from an art book, field
journal and walkers' manifesto. It is a text for performative
artists, art students, and all who walk as cultural activism.
Walking Art Practice is a collection of intimate reflections by the
author, which bring together his experiences as a former monk,
performance artist, social choreographer and educator. They serve
as a provocation, walkers' manifesto and teaching guide for walking
as mindful cultural activism. This book is an invitation to:
Rethink what it means to walk and explore different ways in which
to walk as: a cultural practice a meditative practice a radical
practice art healing social engagement. Reconsider how to attend to
the inner and outer landscape whilst walking. Treat walking as a
performance resource. Walk as an everyday pilgrimage. Walk slowly,
walk in and with awareness, walk with and without skill, walk to
regain and to lose control... " Artists are trying to move away
from the influence of competitive corporate culture that has
increasingly defined art as an abrasive urban career. Artists are
trying to replace this with the humbler notion of art as a
practice, as a mindful way of life, consisting of consciously
creative gestures, visible and invisible, large and small. Art
practice is a private and public, selfless and generous, creative
life process resulting in a conscious cultural product."

co-curators Kalia Brooks and Trinidad Fombella, Juliana Driever,

a laboratory to locate cracks in public space policies, question
the dehumanization of the urban landscape, and celebrate the
theater of civic space.
