Dear co-walkers, The year is coming towards an end. Anna Viola Hallberg and Ami Skånberg, curators for WAP23 and instigators of a joint walking arts exposition at Research Catalogue, would like to celebrate the new year by sharing *A Walking Greeting for the New Year from Sweden* The more than twenty selected artists contributed with interdisciplinary practices, primarily drawing, photography, video, performance and dance. They worked both individually, in spontaneous constellations and in group sessions. The dissemination of the program took place in share sessions upon arrival of new artists - including dinners, open studios, walks, workshops etc. In addition, as the program unfolded, each artist developed their own exposition. We happily and proudly present the exposition with all co-walkers out there: https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/2454801/2454797 ABSTRACT WALKING AS PRACTICE WAP23 was a process-based residency during September-November 2023, where artists using walking as a method delved into each others’ knowledges and things they encountered together at BKN, the Northern Stockholm Archipelago in Sweden. Fieldworks, share sessions and seminars were created jointly to locate and entangle structures, narratives and themes for walking. The residency formed a transformative, dynamic space for art that engaged with life and nature towards critical and poetic explorations, influenced by the immediate surroundings: the forest, lakes, sea and people living in the rural area. Processing how walking is interlocked in our artistic practices, this exposition represents a gathering of texts, visuals and audio from the walking art residency.
