About the Grant$22,500 to support The Walking Project (MAP 2005), a performance, mapping and cultural exchange project that explores “desire lines” or paths made by people who walk across fields in South Africa and across vacant lots in Detroit – and what connects them.About the ProjectWalk & Squawk’s The Walking Project is a cross-disciplinary performance, mapping and cultural exchange project collaboratively developed with US and South Africa-based artists and community partners during a series of residencies in Detroit and KwaZulu-Natal from 2003 through 2006.The project explores ‘desire lines’ or paths made by people who walk across fields in South Africa and across vacant lots in Detroit – and what connects them. It explores how these paths are formed through culture, geography, language, economics and love, as well as how people make their own paths; how and why people’s paths cross; and how changing patterns of movement alter perceptions, attitudes and lives. Following its premiere, The Walking Project will return to South Africa for the 2006 Grahamstown Festival. |
