Palestinian artist Emily Jacir used her American passport to fulfill requests from Palestinians who could not travel freely due to Israeli restrictions. The project involved Jacir walking in both Israeli and Palestinian territories to carry out tasks like visiting a grave, playing football with a child, or simply walking on a beach. This work used the act of walking and crossing boundaries to highlight issues of mobility, access, and occupation.

lonning, lonnin

Cumbrian dialect term for ‘lane’ – but a quite specific lane. Lonnings are usually about half a mile long, low level and often with a farm at the end. Many have specific names known only to the local villagers. Hence, Bluebottle Lonning, Lovers Lonning, Fat Lonning, Thin Lonning, Squeezy Gut Lonning or Dynamite Lonning. In the north-east the spelling is lonnin and seems to refer more to an alley than a country lane. The Scottish equivalent is ‘loan’.
