Your Space Or Mine
WALK 10: maps
Join the next walk with Alisa Oleva to explore counter mapping and how we see and feel the city through our own mapping of it.
How did you get here today? What route did you take and what did you notice? What is worth putting on a map? Can you walk in London using the map of Paris? What would a map of this neighbourhood look like? Draw a shape on the map of London and try to walk it. We will start together at The CarWash with some arrival exercises and then go out into the streets to make maps of smells and textures. We will map our own walks and try to walk each other’s maps, map the city with our own bodies and decide what is worth putting on it and how we want to name the streets.
The walk is open to anyone – please come along if you are curious to explore walking and the city in a playful, critical, thoughtful and poetic way. It will start and finish at The CarWash in Shoreditch, 1 Quaker Street, London, E1 6SZ. There is no need to bring anything, but try to travel light and dress accordingly as it will proceed in any weather.
This event is free to attend. However spaces are limited, please RSVP using the form below to confirm your spot.
WALK: our series of free monthly urban art walks, hosted by performance and walking artist Alisa Oleva is part of our Your Space Or Mine project.
