Abstract or Description

‘Toward temporary communities’ is an hour-long guided walk that seeks to provide embodied, creative and intellectual space to reflect on our relationship to ourselves, others and the world through collective practising of listening, walking, reading, (conscious) breathing and sound making. The walk draws from feminist and anti-colonial work on space and embodiment, bringing together various practitioners such as the experimental composer and musician Pauline Oliveros, Ukrainian-born Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector, and scholar of black feminist geography Katherine McKittrick. By experimenting with these performative practices, we search for a framework that would enable us to experience ourselves in space as a shared body. Participants are invited to join us in this search in ways that feel comfortable to them.
