Tu, čisto blizu

Soundwalk

Tu, čisto blizu is an invitation for participants to transform from passive walkers into active co-creators of the urban landscape, leaving behind a more visible imprint, a more visible trace.

On the level of both the individual and the group, the walk explores how we inhabit and move through the city, and what defines the nature of our encounters and interactions. It foregrounds the bodily dimension of experiencing the city and asks how the body might be placed within the predictable dynamics of urban life in a different way. It highlights the power of the moment when individuals step out of individualistic, fleeting observation of their surroundings and become aware of, give meaning to, and perhaps even alter their automated urban routes.

Through different situations and stops in the city, Tu, čisto blizu invites participants to walk through the city in a playful and liberated way, and to actively situate themselves within it.
