Places of strength or places of revelation are places that move us, for no visible or apparent reason, and invite us to experience different sensations, in addition to a reciprocal relationship between the body and the surrounding ecosystem. Places of strength also evoke an “ancestral future”. It is important to recognise the heritage of the past and our ancestors, remembering that the land is not just ours, it has always existed. Drawing the future in a sustainable and substantive way is the inheritance of a very old path.

 Our dreams are inhabited by Earth's ancestral memories and in that sense we have to dive deep into the planet in order to recreate possible worlds. As Krenak mentioned: “we cannot suppress the experience of the body in communion with the leaf, with the lichen and with the water, with the wind and with the fire, with everything that activates our transcendent power and that supplants the mediocrity that we the human has been reduced. Humans are accepting the condition of consuming the Earth”.

 There are those who say that the land is an instrument of work that provides us with matter and material, initiating the movement of capital. But there are also those who say that the earth is a stage, a center of attraction that makes us vibrate. It blooms, bears fruit, spreads on stone and water and develops into different forms. It is a living organism that regulates itself, composing and decomposing the soil, in a continuous process of creation.

 As a dominant species, we have to develop sensitive listening, respecting the earth and its multiple beings, which are our conditions for survival.

 In the face of the ecological crisis, there is still an opportunity as a dominant species to relearn and restructure our extractive and invasive relationship. There is an opportunity to reintegrate ourselves with nature rather than being separated from it. There is the possibility of listening again to the natural rhythms of the world, aligning ourselves with the natural light, waking up when the roosters wake up and falling asleep at dusk. We have to regain a natural rhythm and this is a journey to a place of strength.

 This proposal seeks a walk that shifts our ears towards our feet, to enhance our ability to listen to the Earth as a living organism that welcomes us. As we walk, our feet will be able to find stillness, allowing the bodies to nestle, rest and let themselves be rocked by the pulsation and magnetism of the planet. There, it may be possible a new way of inspiring, breathing, imagining, fantasizing, planning, thinking and even conspiring about the living system we inhabit.

 Walking as an experimental artistic practice is the main tool to reflect on these principles, and will be worked together with meditative and contemplative practices; scores and assignments; DIY exercises and rituals - working tools that develop embodied thinking and cognition.

 This methodological proposal is inspired by the book “Remember Nature - 140 artists' ideas for planet earth”, by Hans Ulrich Obrist and Kostas Stasinopoulos, a book made with the intention of convening an artistic work in response to the climate emergency in the form of a campaign, methodology or intervention.
