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
July 3rd – First Friday Walk : July’s First Friday Walk will be lead by Valerie Coffin Price. We will walk and draw along the river Taff in Cardiff, walking between the station and Hamadryad Park, Cardiff Bay. It will a slightly shorter walk than normal with a focus on making work in response to changes and developments along the river as well as sounds, textures, atmosphere of the city and built up environment. Sorry no dogs.
For remote walkers, if you live near a river, particularly one that has seen a lot of change in recent years, you can walk another river and compare it. Otherwise, any area of the country or city which has seen a marked change. Anyone living on the English side of the Severn Estuary could mirror our walk along another tributary of the Severn.
Contact wtl@walkingtheland.org.uk to receive more details about the walk and how to take part either in person or remotely.
