Scores for Wayfinding

Oct 2021 - Mar 2022

Wayfinding has historically been rooted in physical places, mapping how we orient ourselves, read signposts and navigate routes to reach a destination. In today’s context, how might the process of wayfinding offer new tools for reorientating ourselves in new and shifting territories? How can we create avenues for reencountering each other and discover doors to imaginative travel while making space for understanding oneself? 

This project brings together a core group of art and design practitioners to reflect upon the notion of wayfinding as a pathway to renegotiating our boundaries and living with uncertainties. Our work emerges against the current backdrop of the prolonged Covid-19 pandemic and its unfolding effects and the intensifying wars and conflicts globally, and the ongoing climate crisis that demands our immediate collective action. We explore alternative methods of engaging with wayfinding via experimental scoring, movement exercises and sound explorations via a series of workshops. We’d like to share a series of ten creative activities that have emerged from our collective process of annotating, responding and experimenting with our bodies and life experiences.

You may interpret these exercises with freedom, bringing your own creative flair to the mix.
