Walking in Art Education

Ecopedagogical and A/r/tographical Encounters.

This edited collection highlights ways that arts-educators address learning with the land through walking practices across spatial, temporal, and cultural differences.

In Walking in Art Education, authors explore walking and a/r/tography in their local contexts. As a result, the book finds that kinship and relationality are significant themes that permeate across a/r/tographic practices focused on ecopedagogy and learning with the land. These walking practices serve as ecopedagogical moments that attune us to human-land and more-than-human relationships, while also moving us past Western-centric understandings of land and place. More than this, the book situates this work in a/r/tographic practices taking up walking as one method for engagement.
