(Dis)enchanted Walking: walking/multimedia arts practice as interdisciplinary research (2015-2017)

Two public walking arts projects, Honouring Esther and Sweet Waters, developing a critical walking arts and media practice bringing past injustices into present consciousness generating contemporary social justice resonances.

The live work offers an iteration of walking-with (Sundberg 2014) as a non-confrontational approach attending to obscured and reluctant heritage (Tomory 1997). The practice extends techniques of spatial/temporal layering and folding as dissonant stimuli generating embodied experience, affective encounters shared and documented via social media.

This multi-component output collection contains a 300-word statement, Research Timeline, and Research Questions, as well as three items documenting the following for each project:

Honouring Esther Live

Honouring Esther Extended

Honoiuring Esther installation media

and

Sweet Waters Live

Sweet Waters Extended

Sweet Waters installation media

In addition to this the collection offers a short introductory clip to the Honouring Esther project as an introduction to the emergent approach and a folder of materials of relevance to the approach across both projects.
