Ghost Walk in Chinatown is a pilot for Artists Walking Home, a yearlong series of walks guided by artists, designers, and architects. The program invites participants to experience a direct connection to the city’s immediate environment and to gain an understanding of how ideas and intention become policy, resulting in action and infrastructure which shape our social and lived experiences in public spaces. Participants will explore sudden change of ambiance in a street within the space of a few meters; the evident division of a city into zones of distinct psychic atmospheres; the path of least resistance that is automatically followed in aimless strolls; and the appealing or repelling character of certain places.
