We participated in Open Quarter & Profound Sound 2022. We invited six local individuals – artists, composers, a photographer and an ecologist – to explore with us the idea of Walking in Air as a model for speculative thinking, for creative activity and for reconsidering our place within the natural environment

With Will Montgomery and Emmanuelle Waeckerlé (project organisers), Diane Dever (Urban Room), Rubiane Maia, Sophie Stone, Mick Williamson, Maureen Wolloshin, Melanie Wrigley.

Introductory meeting

We each undertook individual field work in our own time, the experience of which was shared later on. Participants could choose to orient their activity around one or more of three given quotes in the schedule at the foot of the page.
