NIGHTWALKING
Ever since starting our monthly Nightwalks in Utrecht in 2015, we have seen cities with our feet, again and again. Walking, as Italo Calvino wrote, “presupposes that with every step the world changes in some aspect and also that something changes in us.” We embrace these changes and invite you to come walk along.

Because walkers are the practitioners of the city, as cities are made to be walked. We believe a city is a language, a repository of possibilities, and that walking is the act of speaking that language. So no, this will not be a guided walk. You’ll be walking your own eccentric version of the city. Under cover of the darkness for we are convinced we need the nocturnal city as an alternative frame for thinking and being. 

Nightwalking opens up both our surroundings and ourselves. We’d be more than happy if you join us for an exploration of existing, probable and possible cities. More info here.

ONZE STAD, ONS CANVAS
As in 2023 we were part of RAUM’s annual conference. This year we presented the walk ‘Beestachtig’ in collaboration with The Travelling Farm Museum of Forgotten Skills and one of the Utrecht city ecologists. Together we explored what language could help us in accepting ourselves as part of a multi-species society.

TEACHING ART SCHOOL
As in previous years we teach a mini-course on ‘Urban Cannibalism, or: walking as artistic research method’ at the Master of Fine Arts spatial practice program at the HKU. We are happy to be able to include friends as Ienke Kastelein and Nancy Jouwe in the mini-course.
