Walking the Land is an artists collective that has been active in and around Gloucestershire’s Stroud Valleys since 2002 and more recently has active members from across the UK, Canada and Australia. We link landscape, community and art through projects, research, exhibitions, installations, writing and shared walks with numerous artists, other professions and wider communities. We have
a common interest in the use of landscape for social change, public engagement, critical debate and creative forms of community activities.
Upcoming Events
June 5th – First Friday Walk : This First Friday walk is part of the Salmonsbury Moot project coordinated by Caroline Morris. Salmonsbury Camp is an Iron Age ‘hillfort’ which is now part of GWT Greystones Farm Nature reserve in Bourton-on-the-Water: Greystones Farm Nature Reserve, Greystones Lane, Bourton-on-the-Water, GL54 2BA
The Moot project looks to engage the visitor with the site’s landscape and archaeology through an engagement day (01/08/26) and a month-long exhibition (from 10/09/26).
This can be a hybrid walk for those who cannot get to Bourton-on-the Water, as the route taken around the site can be virtually walked on google street view or walkers can choose their own location and consider it through the lens of Tim Ingold’s concept of the taskscape.
Optional reading will be sent out to those who sign up.
Contact wtl@walkingtheland.org.uk to receive more details about the walk and how to take part either in person or remotely.
May 26th – Last Tuesday Café : “Crossing Borders and Boundaries” – An evening of presentations and group discussions, delving into the intersections of practice between Walking the Land and Walkspace and scoping potential meeting points for future exploration.
Contact wtl@walkingtheland.org.uk to receive more details nearer the time.
