spatial practice

The F_WALKS are organized by the office fem-arc, in an effort to collectively experience feminist spatial practices despite physical distance. During a walk guided by binaural sound recordings, listeners encounter a variety of stories transcending geographical and linguistic limits. The F_WALKS are an ongoing attempt to capture the plurality of subjective experiences and varying degrees of accessibility to space–and to demonstrate them in an embodied way. While quietly walking the streets of the town they’re in, participants will experience emancipatory practices and spaces together with different narrative characters that guide them. Narrated spaces and the physical environment blend into each other. What can we learn from each other no matter the distance that separates us? Recorded spaces resonate in the real space. What would that be like if we'd use the same practices right here? The audiowalks collect perspectives that are oftentimes invisible, inaudible, and not paid attention to in city planning. Topics addressed include access/exclusion to/from spaces, culture of remembrance in public space, and urban economies.
