Walks, as well as city tours are shaped and characterized by whom you perform them with. Five “walks” are planned with experts in diverse fields, that all not only share their specific knowledge, but also their relation to the city of Vienna with the participants. Elke Krasny, a cultural theorist will thematize politics of memory/ rememberance between architecture, arts and feminism; Michael Hofstätter (PAUHOF Architects) will focus on the presence and absence of urbanism. Katharina Miko, a sociologist, will reflect on ethnographic urban research on the example of “Schwedenplatz” and “Praterstern”. Performance-artist Barbara Kraus will perform an expedition with bicycles instead of walking by foot, and Michal Wlodkowski, one of the curators of Coded Cultures 2011, will organize an excursion to urban gardens in open and public (unused) space.
