In this workshop, we will experiment with a virtual walk along streets and alleys, stairs, squares, gardens, and historical buildings in Mouraria’s neighbourhood (Lisbon). Walking, we will get to know residents and community networks, witness gentrification processes and city tourism, and explore services, commerce, multicultural exchanges and social gatherings. With Ana Moya (PT).

With the human body as an instrument, the human walker plays a variety of songs, with different rhythms, metres, and cadences, which grow from and impart different sociological, psychological and political meanings. The artists and scholars on this panel explore both the possibilities and the presumptions of walking as a technique of the body.
