ReRouting’s WORKSHOPS create space to explore walking as a tool for learning, exchange, and imagination. Bridging arts, education, and social practices, the workshops invite participants to engage with different ways of moving through and thinking about sites. Unlike our curated walk actions, workshops are less about following a set route and more about experimenting together with where, what, and how routes can be. They offer an embodied and collaborative setting for sharing perspectives, testing ideas, and rethinking how we move through and connect with our surroundings.

Walking with Children

31.06 - 6.07, 2025
with Walking Arts Encounters Conference,
University of Western Macedonia, Prespa, Greece

WALC is a conference that takes place every two years in the area around lake Prespa.

Walking with Children was conceptualised as an encounter within the encounter - one which invites participants to bring their children to the conference as well as creating a space for children to participate as equals in the activities. A series of workshops by different artists were formulated into a program, which invited both local and visiting participants as well as intergenerational encounters.

FOOTNOTES

17.09 - 24.09, 2024
with Co-Making Matters
at Floating University, Berlin

Footnotes is a workshop series that expands the margins and carries conversations into new directions. Like footnotes in a text, the series adds context or information where it might otherwise be missing.

As part of Floating University’s Free Radicals program, open workshop sessions invited participants to explore how a “footnote” could be woven into their practice—artistic or otherwise—and how these ideas might be shared through group walks. The sessions emphasized practical, collective learning, using movement and shared exploration as methods of exchange. By contributing Footnotes, participants uncovered new connections and encounters. The workshops culminated in a public walk day on site, where the Footnotes were shared.

Walk through, around, over, under, beyond

12.07.2024
with Radical Playgrounds, Martin Gropius Bau/Berliner Festspiele, Berlin

There are many ways to walk, with each mode offering different ways of seeing what surrounds us. Many cultural institutions offer guided tours, leading guests through an exhibition context and sharing a set piece of knowledge.

Responding to Radical Playgrounds as a site of play, this workshop asks how we walk through through an exhibition site more radically or more playfully? Participants are invited to disrupt the role of leader and determine the routes, speeds, and motions of how we could guide others through the Radical Playgrounds site for one afternoon.
