Your Space Or Mine
WALK 10: maps
This walk with Alisa Oleva invited participants to explore counter mapping and how we see and feel the city through our own ways of mapping it.
How did you get there that day? What route did you take and what did you notice? What was worth putting on a map? Could you walk in London using the map of Paris? What would a map of that neighbourhood have looked like? Participants were invited to draw a shape on the map of London and try to walk it. The walk began at The CarWash in Shoreditch, 1 Quaker Street, London, E1 6SZ, before heading into the streets to make maps of smells and textures. Attendees mapped their own walks and attempted to walk each other’s maps, mapped the city with their own bodies, and decided what was worth including and how they wanted to name the streets.
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.
