Your Walk: Your City is an interactive project which is produced in the form of a booklet that performs as part record of walking practice and part guidebook for other walkers, reflecting backwards on tasks and projecting forwards with the offer for the audience to have a go.

 

This project explores the idea of the collaboration between body, landscape and satellite in a giant writing task that playfully explores the ideas of scale and perspective. 

 

There are many new things you can find out about your area just by walking down a road you haven’t before. Through curating and performing your own Name Walks you can map your own version of your city, you can do this by engraving your name into your city. 

This booklet is here for you to start your own walking project.

 

Within this booklet I also include several variations of the Name Walk.
