Abstract

Artistic practices of walking may provide performative and interventional strategies for dialogic and interdependent ways of being in a world and age of unprecedented transborder migration. These strategies may offer new engagements with, orientations to and representations of transnational place amidst the contradictory claims, desires, memories that coexist in the aftermath of conflict and the negotiation of difference. This chapter considers a series of walking art works that explore the experiences and identity and place-making practices implicated in transnational mobility. These works offer strategies of interaction, negotiation and exchange to map and orientate to the experiences, provisional processes and places of transnational displacement, movement and mobility, particularly that of forced migration. Altogether, they suggest strategies of a civic engagement that may potentially generate longer-lasting transformations of space. The chapter draws upon Rosi Braidotti’s nomadic theory to articulate the ethics and aesthetics for walking art practices operating within public spaces marked by transnational mobility.
