This project was addressing important themes of migration and home-finding via intimate use of walking as an empowering and explorative practice and space for an encounter and sharing.

Have you moved to Leeds from another country? Do certain places in Leeds remind you your hometown? Do you have your favourite walks in Leeds that make you feel at home in the city?

Artist Alisa Oleva invites you to go together on a one-to-one walk, exploring the idea of home and belonging. We will walk, talk, share and collect some traces. There will be some treats at the end.

I have hosted 12 intimate one-to-one walks with people from various paths and cultures who moved to Leeds from Italy, Pakistan, Ukraine, Kurdistan, Slovenia, Chile and other places. Each could choose any starting point – a place that makes them feel at home in Leeds. I also invited participants to take two photos with instax camera on the walk: one to keep and one to take with them.

I am currently working on set of postcards as a documentation.

This residency was supported by Compass Festival in Leeds.

hybrid flaneur/flaneuse

Hybrid flaneur/flaneuse has become a performative “orchestrator” of steps and technologies – of sensory and emotional encounters. It is this oscillation between the poetic, the socio-technological, the geographical and the emotional that shifts the meaning of flanerie and walking in the 21st century. Hybrid flaneur/flaneuse can be also described in line with the cultural and aesthetic trajectories of the 20th century ambulatory practices. Therefore, a hybrid flaneur/flaneuse could be a creative merging of the romanticised view of early flaneur, the radical tactics and political implications of psychogeography and the performative/site-oriented elements of Fluxus and Land Art – all considered through a wide range of embodied media, social and geographical sensitivities.
