'Between 2004 and 2010 walkwalkwalk: an archaeology of the familiar and forgotten (Gail Burton, Serena Korda, Clare Qualmann) scored a repeated route of shared nightwalking through the streets of East London. The mapped route, created from their urban routines, invited others to re-walk and just walk, with no destination purpose. The project collected, collated, and re-presented artefacts and stories from the shifting edges and over-looked details as an archaeology.
It is 21 years since the first walk, and 16 since the last – titled ‘Things that have gone’. walkwalkwalk invite you to join them to walk the original route, with a commemorative re-issue of the map, and add to the archaeology of things that have gone.
The route is approximately 2 miles, with pauses along the way. Participants will be invited to put their phones aside and experience the walk unmediated. Annotated maps and anecdotes are welcomed.'

' Whitechapel 'Backyard Biennial: East' is an 8-week, free, summer arts festival initiated by Whitechapel Gallery in collaboration with more than 40 local partners across East London.
Titled 'East' and featuring exhibitions, installations, screenings, performances, workshops, residencies, walks, open studios and special events, this first iteration of Backyard Biennial will celebrate the unique historic, cultural and creative identity of the East End, and pay tribute to its many diverse communities and industries...A flagship of Whitechapel Gallery’s 125th anniversary year, this innovative pilot project is designed to reframe what an arts biennial is and who it is for. It proposes a vibrant and evolving model for community participation and audience engagement, continuing the Gallery’s commitment to working with local stakeholders to create sustainable cultural and social infrastructures.'
