Walking the City - the urban imaginary in stories, places and sounds

The 2017/2018 Fall semester of Mapping the Local focuses on walk as art and curatorial practice. The social and art historical background of the walking will be explored, recent examples of the theme (exhibitions, art projects) will be researched and presented,  together with texts related to walking as critical art practice. Group and individual works will be elaborated by the end of the seminar. The collected research and projects will be summarised in a presentation at the end of the semester. The course is led by teachers from the Intermedia and Fine Art Theory and Curatorial Studies departmets of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts (MKE).
