Walking Art Practice : Reflections on Socially Engaged Paths - Ernesto Pujol

Walking Art Practice is a collection of intimate reflections by artist Ernesto Pujol, 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...
"A culture is how a specific people, in a specific place, in a specific moment, choose to portray themselves to each other and to the world. Artists are choosing to walk in order to regain control of our being from government officials, political parties, religions, corporations, and media. Artists are walking for you and me; artists are walking for us."
