Counter-Narratives You Have to Walk To

Here’s Kibriya Mehrban talking about her experience as part of the app’s core team. OVERHEAR a free app that hosts a large variety of audio, from poetry to oral histories
Museo Barda del Desierto
Barda del Desierto Museum (mBDD) is an open-air contemporary art museum in Northern Patagonia. Visitors walk through the steppe landscape, accessing site-specific digital works via QR codes, linking art, architecture, territory, and technology.
Procession
*Procession* was performed in early 1974 when Teresa Murak wore a coat of cress seeds and walked through the streets of Warsaw, merging feminine labor, nature, and politics. The act, documented in photos and oral history, became a landmark feminist performance.

Walking pieces
Land Mark (Foot Prints)
Land Mark (Foot Prints) documents activist collaborations in Vieques, where altered shoe soles stamped protest slogans onto former military land. The photographs capture fragile, temporary marks of dissent that question land use, power, and reclamation through everyday actions.
Head Sculpture
Head Sculpture, a performance by Efrat Natan, used a T-shaped headpiece worn while walking in Tel Aviv after Independence Day to restrict vision and draw attention, questioning belonging, conformity, and militarized urban space through bodily limitation.
World-Wide-Walks
World-Wide-Walks by Peter d’Agostino is a decades-long project exploring walking through physical, virtual, and networked spaces. Combining video, installations, and VR, it examines movement, perception, environment, technology, and human interaction.
Sandalia
Sandalia is a limited edition rubber sculpture of 60 sandals, featuring relief maps of Havana neighborhoods on the soles. Transforming a mass-produced object into art, it reflects place, identity, and culture, inspired by watercolor drawings of Old Havana and Vedado.
