This annual, world-wide walk is the creation of Eleonore Ozanne and 2024 was the third year that she hosted it. We walked for the first time in Edinburgh on Wednesday 18 September 2024 from Haymarket Station to the Meadows, Edinburgh with the moon in the lead.

The 2025 walk will take place on 6 October in Utrecht, the Netherlands (Ienke Kastelein), Sydney, Australia (Molly Wagner), London, England (Clare Qualman), Camallera, Cataluña (Clare Garí), Edinburgh, Scotland (Clunie Phipps and Dawn Oei), and Stroud (Tamsin Grainger). The total duration of all the walks combined, spans approximately 24 hours, following the time zones from Australia to Mexico.
This is a performative action that takes the form of a collective walk among women*. It takes place simultaneously in various cities around the world under the light of the full moon. With the desire to go for a real walk, we meet at a designated spot and walk following the moon’s trajectory. It is an aesthetic, relational and political experience that allows us to walk together, at night, in the same direction — despite the distance.
