When all the elements come together you just say yes. I’ve been eager to go for a long solo walk and be in the world slow, humble and open to whatever comes on my path for a while now. There was the plan to walk to the COP26, the Climate Conference in Glasgow in 2021 but it couldn’t be realised for a number of reasons. I did wear the business suit I wanted to wear on the walk for a year though and embroidered it with questions people asked me. I promised to take the suit on a long walk when the time would be right and that time has come.
I applied for the Rewilding Cultures Mobility Conversation, every Rewilding Cultures partner association chose a project and I was selected by Schmiede to go on a journey through Spain to explore slow ways of being and the notion of territory. I will walk and slowly travel from my home in Barcelona to The Foundry in Galicia where I will share my experiences during the week long program “Territory beyond State and Property”.
A member of the Schmiede Network is called a smith. The Foundry used to be an ironworks. I’ll be looking for and forging connections while walking.
I’ll be leaving around July 12, the route will be improvised, letting the road and the world guide me, encountering people, places, opportunities while surviving with little means (nature will provide shelter and food). I will walk in a business suit embroidered with “burning questions” people asked me in the last year, carrying everything I need. I’ll collect stories on the road and share them here. I’m looking forward!
