Let's Take a Walk #65 took place as part of EnTransito

Dear Friends,
Let's Take a Walk #65, a worldwide participatory walking performance, was part of EnTransito 2025 in San Antoni de Portmany, Ibiza. I invited people, in person and worldwide, to participate in a multi-phases performance. We shared thoughts and stories, co-create a knitted artifact, and took Let's Take a Walk #65—all under the theme In Spirit We Are Elsewhere.

Let's Take a Walk #65 Unfolding in 4 Phases:


Phase 1 Post exhibitionthe knitted element was created with passerby over three days. We exchanged thoughts on the idea of In Spirit We Are Elsewhere and #walkingtogetherapart. 

Phase 2  During Let's Take a Walk #65, the knitted element fashioned into an overskirt I wore, unraveled, leaving traces of our collective journey, participants joined in person, and virtually, via Instagram Live @letstakeawalk_world,  #walkingtogetherapart

Phase 3  Performance artifact exhibited as part of my installation in the group exhibition. Visitors wrote their thoughts in a notebook while pondering, In Spirit We Are Elsewhere & #walkingtogetherapart.

Phase 4  Shlepping/Displaying, post-exhibition, hanging the performance artifact throughout San Antoni de Portmany's various neighborhoods.

Phase 2


The journey continued as we walked together, both in person and online

During the walk (phase 2) the knitted element unraveled, leaving traces of our collective journey, virtual and in person, #walkingtogetherapart. I was your guide, the trickster formerly known as Tweetmaster was Vaira Janz, the drummer was Ole Krüger, the town crier and translator was Suwon Lee.
