More about Nuestras Huellas: Nuestras Huellas is an ongoing series of site-specific story walks led by community guides whose stories have been unheard or silenced in our community. Using recorded conversations as an artistic research method, each community guide works with an expert Listener from The Listeners Project: Queremos Escucharte to devise a personalized route for their individual walk. At sites along the route, the guide shares important stories from their lives with the walking tour participants. With support and training from the expert Listeners, guides employ tools of the theatre and socially engaged art to lead participants in embodied activities, creating opportunities to both hear AND feel the guides lived experiences.
