About the Artist
Walk Around Philadelphia creates cultural events that bring people together in shared experiences that connect them to their own bodies, their neighbors, and the landscape of Philadelphia as we explore our boundaries together.
The ~100+ mile walk around the entire city border happens twice a year in February & September, with other events throughout the year.
Participants can join for any individual segment or partial segment as they are able, or set out to do it on their own anytime!
