WAP25 - Walking as Passion and Embodied Thinking by WAP

WAP/Walking As Practice Program takes place where the forest meets the sea in the Northern Stockholm Archipelago, Sweden. It is a program for self-identifying walking artists. Exploring and sharing strategies for proximity through artistic expressions in the field of walking practices, creating a transformative, dynamic space for art that engages with life and nature. This involves critical and poetic explorations influenced by the immediate surroundings. We participate in each other’s walkshops or interventions, and we also host Share Sessions to familiarize ourselves with each other’s practices. Additionally, we introduce the Research Catalogue for final dissemination, where each artist create their individual exposition.

Paricipation: June 30 to July 7, 2025

I walk the land and turns them into inner and outer landscapes shifting medium between drawing, painting, sound and writing. Painting and other visual depictions such as drawing are some of the oldest forms of communication we have, possessing the ability to speak across cultures by using the language of the unconscious.

During WAP25 the walks were primarily transformed into charcoal drawings. It was the first walking as art practice program for me.

"Walking is embedded into my practice as I paint, draw or write. I among other things research the impact of the digital world on development with focused exploration on masculinity, self-expression and addiction."
