WHEEL OF THE YEAR WALKS
Toronto residents and visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy walks guided by the imagination of local artists.
The Wheel of the Year is a cycle of seasonal festivals timed around the solstices, equinoxes and four midway points between the astronomist phenomena. Year Walks are an ancient form of divination whereby walkers go on long journeys looking for clues to the future in the environment around them.
Black and Brown artists will take listeners through an audio experience mapped on their smartphones. The Walks will vary in content from the personal to the observational, from the imaginative to the fantastical. Different Walks will make use of different aspects of the technology but you do not need technical knowledge to use the app. All you need is a smartphone and the will to be transported and grounded through a sonic experience created by b current artists.
Come and explore the possibilities! You might have the chance to explore your own neighbourhood or you can explore other neighbourhoods guided by some of the most exciting artists in Toronto.
b current is currently partnering with driftscape to bring these incredible walks to life.
