Where does it feel like home in this city? What is the walk home you remember really well? Can walking be a way of home-finding?
We will start together inside the gallery, engaging with some countermapping exercises and then go out into the neighbourhood, exploring various walking prompts that will invite us to look, feel and remember our connections to homes and places we carry with us and to the streets around us. We will engage with some writing, mapping and sensory exercises, working both in pairs and as a group as well as on our own. We will come back to the gallery for the closing of the walk.
This walk comes from Alisa’s ongoing exploration of walking and home-finding coming from her experience of migration to the UK at the age of 17. The walk is inviting people with experience of migration or from diasporic background or those self-identifying with any of that lived experience to attend.
This event is part of Backyard Biennial.
Alisa Oleva is a walking artist based in London who works within the spaces and streets of the city, exploring the politics of public space, how the city moves us and how we move it, urban choreography and urban archaeology, traces and surfaces, borders and inventories, intervals and silences, passages and cracks.
