Walk Notations is a new publication (February, 2026) that brings together traces emerging from Dissident Paths: Walking Together as a Method, a series of artistic walks across Berlin in 2025, a curatorial collaboration between initiatives ReRouting and Cruising Curators for nGbK, Berlin.
Moving between artistic practices, curatorial conversations, and reflections, the book approaches walking as a method for being together in public space. Some contributions revisit specific sites or gestures from the program while others move further afield, driven by personal memory, archival research, theoretical analysis, or speculative fiction. Conceived as a portable companion, Walk Notations invites the readers to navigate the city otherwise—attentive to detours, thresholds, and the possibilities that emerge when paths are made collectively.
For this event two of the project’s curators Clementine Butler-Gallie and Eirini Fountedaki, who is also the editor of the publication, come together in conversation with Lorna Powell, to share more on the program of walks and how the publication came to form from them. They will also be joined by Yasmeen Al-Qaisi and Elena Biserna two of the publication’s many contributors, who will share readings from the book connecting them back to their walk actions.
Those registering for the event will be sent a discount code for ordering the Walk Notations via the publisher nGbK’s website. The code be active up to the 22nd April, 2026 – and it applies to whoever attends the event.
