WAP24
WAP is a process-based program, where we delve into each others’ knowledges and things we encounter with-in artistic research of methodologies in serach of spaces of anticipation. Artists lived and work together and side by side during 2024. The Program is divided in to three editions: June, September and Session (the rest of the year). It unfolds both as public programs and share sessions for participating artists.
WAP is about exploring and sharing strategies on proximity through artistic research and expressions in the field of walking practices through the configuration of a transformative, dynamic space for art, engaging with life and nature. Critical and poetic explorations, influenced by the immediate surroundings - wayfinding.

SEPTEMBER EDITION CO-CURATOR/LEAD WALKER
Antonia Aitken based in lutruwita /Tasmania, Australia since 2014.Through a combination of field research and studio based practice, my work is investigating social and environmental questions about how we engage with and interpret our relationships with place in a contemporary Australian context. How do we explore the complex and entangled imprint of settler colonialism and attempt to build ethical dialogue with the land and its communities?
