SILENT WALK Prague – Holešovice: A Performative Exploration of Urban Diversity

Thursday, April 27, meeting downstairs in front of the DOX reception desk at 14.00 (we will go outside so don’t forget to bring your jacket)

 

Experience the ‘Silent walk’, which allows people from diverse backgrounds and/or disciplines to share the sensation of drifting through the city together and to immerse themselves in play, let go of their limits and improvise.

We will go beyond the Forum venue and observe, listen, smell, touch and act on the traces of the urban transformation and gentrification process that the neighbourhood is currently going through. In a collective silent ‘performance’, we will discover formal and informal rules, visible and invisible divisions and connections in local communities as well as their potential. Then we will share our findings through an open discussion and explore how to use this method and learnings to address challenges within our communities and within ourselves.

 

Key words: performative research, research through practice, experiential learning, participative leadership, collaborative action, urban exploration, dérivé, urban diversity, gentrification
