Feel Me, Hear Me – Echoes from the Metropole Walk by Nina Folkersma

08 November, Performa, New York

In the Hoofprints of Leonora Carrington is a guided walk from the Central Park entrance at W 79th Street to 306 W 73rd Street, an address where Carrington briefly lived in the early 1940s. Framed as an “interspecies dialogue,” the tour invites participants (and their leashed pets) to choose an animal alter-ego and move through the city as a mixed herd of humans, animals, and ghosts. Along the Bridle Path, Nina Folkersma threads together city lore and surrealist history; Baudelaire’s flâneur, Dalí’s anteater, and New York’s own wild sightings, before pausing at the Dakota to attune to unseen presences.
