--- www.sideways2012.be --- The backbone of the Sideways Walking Arts Festival is a 4 week expedition through Belgium, from West to East. For the artists the journey takes the form of an artistic laboratory: their projects develop step by step,  in interaction with each other and with the environment. During the 4 weeks, we walk in day journeys, from Mondays till Thursdays, between 7 and 32 kilometers, guided by local explorers and everyone is welcome to join! In this way some 50 artists interpret the landscape in their performances, artistic research, photography, installations, paintings, drawings and walkshops! During the weekends, the mobile laboratory takes a halt at 5 festival locations: Menen (19 Aug), Herzele (25-26 Aug), Brussels (1-2 Sept), Turnhout (8-9 Sept) and Zutendaal (15-16 Sept) and unfolds a programme of talks & walks and other interventions! --- www.facebook.com/sideways2012 ---
