Women Walk the City: Night Walking and Reimagining with Ruby Wallis

This event has ended

Eileen McLoughlin Park, Sunday 5th February

Artist Ruby Wallis will lead a night walk through Dublin city, focusing on the figure of the flâneuse – a subversive imaginative explorer, who wanders the city according to her own desire. Participants will be invited to engage with psychogeography and ways to reimagine the urban landscape through a feminist lens. Each urban walker will be invited to respond to the overlooked spaces of the city and create images of plant life, trees, and pathways. The group will create a body of images to address an urgent need for safety and a reimagining of the city through a female gaze.

(Photographs will be taken using basic smartphone cameras)
