Forced Walks is a proposed programme of artist-led performative, socially engaged, public walks, digitally connected and mindful of those refugees, migrants, tramps, water-carriers and others who were/are forced to walk to survive. The programme seeks to reveal hidden stories of those dispossessed of land and home by war, economic and climate change and to generate contemporary and locative resonances.
The first project, Honouring Esther, is now live:

Honouring Esther takes the route of a Nazi death march and transposes it to the English countryside. We will walk public rights of way as close as possible to the transposed line conducting interventions where walk and transposed line meet, completing the walk on 15 April 2015 the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Belsen. Walker registration is now open. Join us on foot and online.
