This essay emerges from the aftermath of Hurricane Maria and examines pilgrimage as an embodied walking art practice for rebuilding kincentric relationships with the natural world. The essay and work treat walking as a method of creative inquiry shaped by environmental rupture, recovery, and attentiveness to land. Pilgrimage routes function as active research sites where movement becomes a way to listen, register, and respond to ecological and social change. Participants of the walk are understood not as observers but as part of the work itself, engaging in a practice that merges radical cartography, “emergent strategy”, and social practice. Drawings, notes, mappings, and other trace elements operate as a living field guide, documenting how bodies in motion can generate knowledge, care, and orientation amid ongoing environmental, political, and cultural shifts.
