From an interview with the editors:How would you describe walking art?
CH: Walking art connects the imagination with an ambulatory journey ... [It] can be many things: a poetic experience, a theatrical meander, a story ramble, a sound-based amble, a political walk, a subversion, an intervention, a game, a meditation, a dedication, a cultural reflection.
