"About walking, September 2019-November 2020, curated by Christina Houghton and Melissa Laing"--Colophon. "... a set of questions have emerged: what is it to know a place through the affective and intellectual affordances that art provides; how does situating your work within and in partnership with the environment it passes through shape live experience and collective connection; what is the relationship between walking, art and knowledge; and, finally, what is specific in Aotearoa New Zealand to creative walking practices, a globally mobilised art form? In partnership with Te Uru and Pīta Turei, we developed About walking to explore these questions. About walking was a program of performance based walks travelling through time, across a fifteen month period, and through geography, across west Auckland"--Seasons of walking, page 6.
Includes bibliographical references.
