Straight to Reach the Oasis

Project developed with Álvaro Porras Soriano, Raúl Hialgo, and a community of drifting walkers as part of the Programa d’Art i Context at IVAM on June 17 and 18, 2022.

"Straight to Reach the Oasis" was a collective activity that took the form of a long walk along the margins of various railway sections connecting Estación del Norte with the port area of El Grao. The walk was conceived as a tool for the psychogeographic re-reading of Valencia's railway network. Throughout the journey, a series of collective actions were carried out, and various "oases" were sought where participants could stop and reflect on the surrounding context.
