Hi all,

thanks you for all your suggestions. They all look extremely relevant and
useful. I will look at them. 
For your info, there is an article of mine that already discusses my
piece 'Making Memory While Walking' as a means for enabling critical
intercultural dialogues to happen. 
The article I am working on is a continuation of this investigation into the
links between walking, participation, and collective memory.
This is the reference of my previous article:

Sotelo, L. (2010)'Looking backwards to walk forward: Walking, collective
memory and the site of the
intercultural in site-specific performance', Pe rf o rm a n c e R e s e a rc
h 1 5 ( 4 ) , p p . 5 7 - 67

Hi Jen, Thank you for mentioning my article in Mobilities. I'm actually an
artist and member of the network.

Luis,  the article talks about my project 'way from home' which involved
walks with refugees that facilitated their stories and memories of a place
they considered home in the past and perceptions of a
place they are inhabiting now. The article looks at the project as a method
of collaborative knowledge production, method of mobilities research and
spatial aesthetics. It includes a section on collective memory.

There is a further article written about the method used in way from home'
and applied to another project by ONeill and Hubbard in Visual Studies issue
on Walking and Ethnography.

And my website is <http://www.homingplace.org>

. Hope this is helpful.

Best wishes

Hi Luis

Do you know the work of Misha Myers - a sociologist who has worked with
artists and walking, particularly with walking and recollection.
this paper was in Mobilities Journal, Vol 6, Issue 2, 2011
Walking Again Lively: Towards an Ambulant and Conversive Methodology of
Performance and
Research<http://www.informaworld.com.ezproxy.lancs.ac.uk/smpp/content%7Edb=al
l%7Econtent=a935306584%7Efrm=titlelink>  by Misha Myers

 I don't remember if I ever told you about my piece 'Surface Patterns: Audio
Tours' & 'Walking Tours' - where I walked with and recorded 10 people
recalling Huddersfield, some who had known the town for 65 years, others for
only 3 months.  <http://www.theportable.tv/audiotours.html>

I'm sure there are lots more - I'll mail if they come back to me.

hope things are going well

Jen

Dear WAN members,

I am investigating pieces that involve walking as a means for enabling
process of collective memory among walker-participants. I call those projects
'recollection walking performances'. The pieces I am interested in are
different from those where an artist leads an autobiographical walk and tells
participants stories linked with specific places. I am more interested in
practices that are 'participant-centred' in the sense that the walk is for
the participant to recall and share memories. In recollection walking
performances, as I see them, the participant becomes the recollection
performer. I would be very thankful if you could suggest any examples,
articles, books, blogs, etc related with this topic. Does the term evoke any
work in particular to you?

Thanks
