“How and With Whom Do We Walk at Night?”

 

Drawing from the Nocturnal Walking practices of the workshop “How and With Whom Do We Walk at Night?” was part of the Exhibition, Somewhere Inbetween activities to create spaces for collaborative practices, this workshop invited participants to explore questions about mobility, visibility and collective care after dark. Who can walk freely at night? Who remains visible or invisible? How do we foster safety and solidarity while navigating urban spaces? Set against the backdrop of Humboldt University and Museum Island, this night walk engaged with Berlin’s colonial legacies, offering a unique lens through which to reflect on these enduring structures.

Walking and listening collectively at night created a deeper connection with Berlin-Mitte’s urban space. Participants listened to the city and their positionality within spaces influenced by colonial history, fostering shared reflection through urban sound and motion.

Presented at Somewhere Inbetween: A trans-academic exhibition addressing border regime struggles and alternative placemaking in urban spaces at Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany.

The exhibition was organized and curated by Melanie Garland.
