Collective Walks/Spaces of Contestation is a series of talks, performances, public actions, publications, and an exhibition that examines the collective walk/protest/public demonstration as both a performance and a social formation and fosters discussion about issues related to urbanism, community activism and politically engaged artistic practice. The project is curated by Mariane Bourcheix-Laporte and presented through UNIT/PITT Projects. The core of the project is in four collaborations between artists and community organizations, that initiate community engagement and democratic use of public space via the realization of site-specific participatory performances.The speaker series is co-presented by UNIT/PITT, the SFU Vancity Office of Community Engagement and the SFU Institute for the Humanities. The project is supported through the BC Arts Council’s Arts-Based Community Development Program and by the Hamber Foundation.
