Drawalk

On Saturday 26 October we will draw the landscape of Buikslotermeerplein. Visual artist and teacher Liesje van den Berk guides and challenges you with short drawing exercises.

We will walk in and around the shopping centre. We will look and draw from different perspectives. For example, we stand in the middle of the shopping public, but we also look at and from the surroundings of Buikslotermeerplein.We also listen and feel the architecture in our environment and record these observations on paper with graphite pencil.

No drawing experience is necessary for this drawing walk. And the drawing materials are provided.

Walking is a way to experience the richness of your environment and make contact with each other. During the walks you will discover new nature, images, places and stories about your neighborhood by looking and listening.

Walk in: 10:30
Time: 11.00-13.00

Starting point: Boekhandel van Noord, Buikslotermeerplein 70
, Amsterdam
Free of charge

Walking distance: about 3.5 km

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.
