As part of the research project 'Walking Publics / Walking Arts' 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 #WalkCreate Gallery is a result of these submissions. It features 70+ artists, with over 100 images of artworks. The submissions took place across a wide variety of locations in the UK and showcase a diversity in form and approach.
During this online launch event you will hear from invited speakers, and members of the project team, before getting to see a selection of the artworks themselves.
"Walking Publics/Walking Arts: walking, wellbeing and community during COVID-19” is a collaborative research project between University of Glasgow, University of East London, University of Liverpool, and University College Cork, Ireland. An AHRC funded COVID rapid response project, it seeks to explore the relationship between creativity and walking for everyone, artists and non-artists included.
