Concept for a marathon integrated in the Walk&Talk arts festival in São Miguel island, Azores.

ilhas studio was invited by the festival Walk&Talk to be part of the 2022 edition. The aim was to organise a visual marathon that took place during the festival on July 24th on the island of São Miguel, Azores. The Marathon was divided in four courses (42,4 km, 22,4 km, 7 km and 3 km), passing through different trails in São Miguel. Anyone could participate, either by running or walking.

The idea behind this visual marathon was that one person alone cannot fight all injustices, but each one of us can give voice to at least one cause. The body of each participant was a visual support, carrying a graphic piece designed by ilhas studio, based on the watchwords and causes submitted by the participants during the registration act.
