CHAUSSURES: VIVIANE LE COURTOIS

“To walk is to think, to create, to process life. In 1991, I designed my first pair of minimal string shoes to sculpt them with the movement of walking. Traveling in 41 countries with 208 pairs of shoes, I have analyzed how people everywhere in the world have preconceptions about people from what they wear. The resulting collection of used shoes is a series of sculptures that will continue as a long as I can walk. Using shoes have become a conversation starter, a collection of memories collected along the way.”

This talk will be offered on zoom, via Speedwell LIVE.

In association with PLATFORM PROJECTS/WALKS

Pedagogies of walking

2021-07-13 18:00

Online

Walking, next to a creative process and an artistic form can be a base for pedagogy. A pedagogy that is lived, contextual, personal, creative, integral and embodied. Walking can develop pedagogical methods that may be applied to diverse groups. The paradigms that are presented show the emancipatory potential of walking and its educational possibilities.
