Walking as Creative Inspiration
Price range: $31.50 through $35.00
Join exhibiting artist Jill Price for two different workshops that explore walking as a method of research and creativity. Drawing on the senses of sight, smell, and sound, each summer workshop will begin with a walk along Barrie’s Waterfront to observe, collect and reflect on materialities that greet you. Short readings will be provided, helping participants playfully arrive at individual and/or collaborative narratives that creatively document that which was collectively encountered.
Dates: Thursday: September 11, 2025
Time: 5:00 to 7:00 pm
Location: MacLaren Art Centre
One workshop (choose date): $35.00 + HST/$31.50 + HST for Members
Please note: A digital recording device, water bottle and good walking shoes are encouraged.
Dr. Jill Price is an interdisciplinary artist and educator grateful to be living on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabe Odawa, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi Nations in Barrie, Ontario. Sensitive to the interacting material entanglements of human and more-than-human bodies, Price works at the intersections of art, ecology, ethics, aesthetics, and activism to examine at what point everyday activities such as walking, writing, planting, and cleaning become art and art becomes service. Often employing methods of speculative writing to communicate the agency and liveliness of non-human bodies, Price also explores how different types of media and modes of presentation can work to generate different approaches to visual or audible poetry.
