    IN SEARCH OF THE MIRACULOUS (2019)

    A collaboration with April Gertler (Curator) and other artists to present a series of seven psychogeographical guided walks through different areas of Berlin. Each walk focused on one neighbourhood, which was discussed, explored, and celebrated by one artist. The artists turned their focus to narrating stories interwoven with history and their own artistic practice. Each exploratory walk lasted approximately three hours and lead through a part of town chosen by the artist.
