Dear WAN list,
Please see invite below as we are organising a walk specifically for artists and makers interested in walking as a practice this Sunday. It will be a good opportunity for us to meet, catch up and discuss ideas so please do come along.
The main focus of discussion will be for us to tell you more about the walking programme that is evolving in the NE Scotland.
It should be a lovely afternoon to meet fellow artists and Claudia (co-curator of The Walking Institute) before she heads back to Scotland.
The afternoon includes the walk, Lunch and boat trip. There are still a few places available for the lunch and boat trip so please RSVP if you would like to attend either of these as we need to have an idea of numbers for food.
Anyone is welcome to attend the walk and of course bring your own sandwiches if the lunch places are full.
For those of you who have already booked the departure point has changed due to engineering works on the canal that began this week. I will send you the information individually too, but also see below.

Information about the programme:
The Walking Appreciation Institute will be an energetic centre of excellence for the walking & arts discourse that will include research, activity and production in Huntly and beyond. It aims to work with the Terra Incognita (walking research) and Terra Firma (walking action) trajectories that encompass local and international communities to participate in walking & arts related activity.
The cross cutting strands of politics & ethics, community & place, season & time, pathmaking & mapping provide references for curation, research and action. Through these interlaced themes and activities the programme will both: contribute to current research and dialogue within the walking & arts discourse, while creating on the ground walking activities that are appealing and accessible to a wide range of people.
We kick start the programme this spring with a new path-making project From Source to Sea, following the river Deveron, The Slow Marathon 2013 with walking action and discussion around John Muir day. More to follow shortly...

A new dedicated website will be launched later in the year.
