walking (sideways)

The blog titled "Monique Sideways" documents a personal exploration of urban environments through walking, with a strong emphasis on perceiving cities from unconventional perspectives. The author, Monique, uses walking as a method to investigate public spaces, street art, and architectural details, often focusing on elements that are overlooked or marginal within the cityscape. The content combines photographic documentation with reflective commentary, highlighting the sensory and spatial qualities of various neighborhoods primarily in New York City. Monique’s approach integrates elements of cultural geography and visual storytelling, often emphasizing the dynamics of urban change and the layering of histories in the built environment. The blog features detailed observations of sidewalks, signage, graffiti, and ephemeral installations, illustrating how these small-scale urban interventions contribute to the cultural fabric. By walking "sideways," the project suggests a lateral mode of engagement with the city that challenges conventional routes and dominant narratives of urban space.
