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 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 On 20 May 2011, at 13:16, Luis C Sotelo wrote: > > > Dear WAN members, > > I am investigating pieces that involve walking as a means for > enabling process of collective memory among walker-participants.
