»Ne ločujejo nas razlike. Ločuje nas
naša nesposobnost prepoznati,
sprejeti in slaviti te razlike.«
– Audre Lorde
Eksperiment držanja za roke parov istega
ali različnih spolov, nagovarja ljudi, naj se
spopadejo s predsodki v resničnem življenju in
izkusijo na lastni koži, kako je hoditi v čevljih –
ali rokah – nekoga drugega. Delo se osredotoča
na raziskovanje izkušenj s queer življenjskimi
slogi in identitetami v mestu, hkrati pa je
tudi širši eksperiment o tem, česa se lahko
naučimo, ko si dve_a tujki_ca delita intimen
trenutek v javnosti. Zastavlja tudi vprašanja
o družbeni raznolikosti in kulturnih kodah v
vsakem mestu, kjer poteka.
Hoditi:Držati je subtilni izkustveni performans,
v katerem sodeluje po en_a član_ica občinstva, ki
hodi po mestu po skrbno izbrani poti z roko v roki
z različnimi ljudmi, vsakim posebej.
Performerke_ji oz. ‘držalci za roke’ so
skupina lokalnih prebivalk_cev iz različnih
skupnosti,različnih starosti, ras, spolov,
seksualnosti in družbenih okolij, kar občinstvu
omogoča drugačno in posebno izkušnjo. Gre
za ‘mesene’ izkušnje drugačnosti. V upanju, da
bodo spodbudile večje razumevanje in toleranco
med ljudmi, ki si to izkušnjo delijo, in ponudile
možnosti za drugačne načine, kako biti v javnem
prostoru in kako biti drug z drugim.

Great Britain / 2011 / 45'
Performance ono-to-one
“It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognise, accept and celebrate these differences.”
– Audre Lorde
Born out of a series of ʻholding hands experimentsʼ, with both same sex and mixed sex couples, the piece asks people to challenge prejudices in the flesh, and experience firsthand what it is to walk in someone elseʼs shoes - or hands. The work is focused on exploring the experience of queer lifestyles and identities within a city, and at the same time is a broader experiment of what can be learned when two strangers share an intimate moment in public. It also asks questions of the social diversity and cultural codes within each city where it takes place.
Walking:Holding is a subtle, experiential performance that involves one audience member at a time walking through the city holding hands with a range of different people on a carefully designed route. The performers, or ‘hand holders,’ within the piece are a group of local people from a range of different sections of the community, different ages, races, genders, sexualities and social backgrounds who create a diverse and rich experience for the audience members. It’s about flesh to flesh experiences of difference. It hopes to encourage greater understanding and tolerance amongst people who experience it, and to open up new possibilities for ways of being in public space, and ways of being with each other.
Organization: City of Women. In collaboration with Pritličje.
