Walkspace is a collective of writers and artists in the West Midlands who are intrigued by walking in all its forms.
From gentle strolls to hardcore psychogeography, group walks to solo explorations, Walkspace covers the interesting, weird edges of the humble perambulation. There are no right or wrong ways to go for a walk but there are definitely ways to make them curious and enlightening.
Current projects
NYCBRUM: following on from our first group show, our next project as a collective is a 'conversation' of walk-based exchanges throughout 2023/4 between Walkspace in Birmingham and the West Mids, and The Walk Exchange in New York City, exploring what we can learn from walking together and apart.
Walkspace Erratics: regular public walks run by members to test ideas and new projects. From guided tours to unstructured drifts, you're guaranteed to see the world in a new way.
