Dr Anna Walker is an artist, researcher, writer and educator whose interdisciplinary practice is rooted in walking as a methodology of enquiry. Through drawing, sculpture, photography, writing and participatory practice, she explores relationships between memory, place, materiality, ancestral knowledge and the more-than-human world. Her work investigates how practices of attention, encounter and making can open new ways of understanding trauma, kinship, ecology and belonging.
Anna has published more than thirty essays and book chapters, edited five books of artists’ writing and research, and maintains an active writing practice spanning creative nonfiction, critical essays and poetic reflection. In 2018, she founded Arts Research & Ecology (ARE), a monthly practice-research community for artists and researchers, and she facilitates workshops through The Dreamer Awakes, where walking, storytelling, ritual and creative practice become shared modes of enquiry and connection.
