Book excerpt: "This book reconsiders fundamental questions about visual and embodied practice by developing responses to walking and embodied pedagogy using arts-based research methodologies. Diverse practices of data gathering, observation and collation of the visual and experiential archive are successively linked to experimental pedagogic practice and concepts of mobility to enhance possibilities for knowing. The contribution of this book lies in the recognition of visual and embodied performativity in transforming opportunities for meaning and significance. Collective action and provocations under experimental conditions expand sensibilities towards the social realm extending ecologies and environmental discernment beyond human deliberation. The role and place of 'material', affect and embodiment in participatory pedagogies signals new relationships between objects, sites, bodies, events, display, exhibitions, affective research methodologies and learning. The chapters re-imagine sites and situations of learning through concepts of grounded mobilities, mindfulness and living embodiments of practice. Critically reflective practice anticipates the value of local and trans-regional knowledge exchange as well as 21st century global connectivity"--
