Walking piece

Walk together through Amsterdam North
Listen, see, feel, smell and draw
On the road with a writer or a drawing pencil
The walks are for everyone,
No drawing experience necessary.
Surprise yourself

Visual artist Liesje van den Berk organize a monthly walk through Amsterdam North. Walks led by a writer and drawing walks will alternate every other month. For example, the writer Joost Janmaat from “Het wilde Noord” talks about nature in Amsterdam North. The following month we will draw this nature using short drawing assignments and under the guidance of visual artist Liesje van den Berk. Drawing and walking is a way to experience the richness of your environment and make contact with each other. During the walks you will discover new images, places and stories about your neighborhood by looking, drawing and listening.

corpse road

Also known as corpse way, coffin route, coffin road, coffin path, churchway path, bier road, burial road, lyke-way or lych-way. “Now is the time of night, That the graves all gaping wide, Every one lets forth his sprite, In the church-way paths to glide” – Puck in Midsummer Night’s Dream. A path used in medieval times to take the dead from a remote parish to the ‘mother’ church for burial. Coffin rests or wayside crosses lined the route of many where the procession would stop for a while to sing a hymn or say a prayer. There was a strong belief that once a body was taken over a field or fell that route would forever be a public footpath which may explain why so many corpse roads survive today as public footpaths. They are known through the UK.
