Walking is an essential component of everyday life, yet its rights and agency in urban contexts seem often neglected or forgotten. The Agency of Walking presents a selection of scripted walking experiences that invite the public to use the city of Ljubljana as a common testing ground. In the very act of doing it yourself, the agency of walking reveals its full potential: by exploring functional tools that encourage walking; scrutinizing the impact of social activism and political rules that limit the use of public space; or experiencing the urban environment in relation to the scale and sensuality of the human body.
