• • +3 In August 2010 Barbara Lounder presented an art project in the form of a workshop entitled Walking Alone and Together at the summer school for the international cultural change organization Cultura21, in Gabrovo, eastern Bulgaria. Cultura21 brought together 30 artists, activists and scholars from across the globe for an intense week of discussions and workshops on social change, equity and sustainability. Walking was premised as the organizing principle, with its associations with movement, migration and building connections.
Barbara’s project incorporated hand-drawn silk escape maps made to be used as eyecovers, walking sticks, movement and voice in an exploration of connection and cooperation. Walking Alone and Together took place in a park on the forested edge of the town of Gabrovo. The escape map/eyecovers were prepared ahead of time, and had simplified maps of Gabrovo drawn on them. Street names and landmarks were omitted from the maps.
Participants prepared their walking sticks, fitting them with bells and other accessories.
A video excerpt of Walking Alone and Together can be seen here.
