Let's Take a (Virtual Guided) Walk #46

Let's Take a (Virtual, Twitter Guided) Walk #46 took place at 1pm Friday 8/28th, in honor of Martin Luther King's historic "I Have a Dream" speech that took place 57 years ago, LTAW #4 was dedicated to the anti-war march lead by MLK that took place in NYC from Central Park South to the United Nations

#WalkingTogetherApart

Here are the prompts if you wish to experience the journey in your own time.

Walking separately but sharing a journey from anywhere in the world, whether indoors or outdoors via Twitter @mcayer or follow via story on Instagram.

How it works: From NYC, I will guide you via ‪@mcayer on Twitter. For LTAW #46, Together, though apart, we'll create a similar footprint on different soil, #walkingtogetherapart. We will walk for Peace, joining virtually the many participants who will march tomorrow in Washington for Justice for all, #BlackLiveMatter.

How to join: Follow ‪@mcayer on Twitter to receive guiding tweets. Please take photos and videos of your walk and send them to me via Twitter or email. Adding to the ever-growing installation.

History: So far, there have been 45 Twitter guided walks starting in 2009 LTAW each is a shared moment—a step towards peace

From near or far, I hope to share a journey with you.

Thank you for your attention and support

Join me on site or via Twitter

We'll walk together.

#walkingtogetherapart. Join us from anywhere in the world, whether from indoor or outdoor via @mcayer on Twitter. A 20 minutes shared journey.

This project began in 2009 as a virtual Twitter guided walk. Participants from anywhere in the world join in via @mcayer.
Over time it evolved into an on site performance as well.
So far there have been 42 walks; each is a shared moment—a step towards peace.
Walking together, though apart, we’ll journey along the same path. On site I’m assisted by a Town Crier, Tweet Master and Drummer. During the walk, I ask questions about specific topic(s). Prompting dialogue, inviting participants to sing a song, say something nice to someone, etc. In example LTAW #39 took place during The Climate Strike, LTAW #40 adressed social justice. Walk #41 and #42 took place during the shelter in place due the the Covid-19 pandemic.

The onsite performance involves a knitted overskirt I wear (created days prior each walks with passer by) as we walk, it unravels, leaving traces of our journey. Performance artifacts along with film and photographs of our journeys are compiled into an installation, showing the experience of our group walking in different places yet moving in sync. All are documented http://letstakeawalkmc.blogspot.com Contact me via https://twitter.com/mcayer or via my web site http://www.mariechristine.com if you wish to be notified on the next walk details.

Duration detail: each walks require two days or more of knitting & conversation with passer, performance time is about 40 minutes of which 20 minutes are shared via Twitter.
Thank you for your interest.
