The Global Festival of Terminalia is about boundaries and borders, real, historical, fictional and imagined, and marks places of beginnings, endings and thresholds. ARTIFACTS and WIAprojects join Women Who Walk, exploring the cusp of night for Terminalia.

For ARTIFACTS, this event is another stage in their continuing project ARTISTS@WORK, intended to indicate/enact the razor’s edge precariousness of women artists’ lives and labour, here played out at the physical edge of two nationally respected art institutions: Art Gallery of Ontario and OCAD University.

Raudvee and Patterson will circle the park, in concert and communion, with other Women Who Walk worldwide, imagining boundless potentials for women’s safety, health, housing, creativity, and access.

All bodies are welcome!

Terminalia was the last day of the year in the Roman calendar; our system has this as February 23rd. It was the custom to walks the walls of a settlement on this day, and visit its terminii: this custom is re-enacted, often by psychogeographers, in many places today. In Aberystwyth, while the walls are no

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
