My interest in documenting and producing sounds goes hand in hand with walking as a method of data collection during the fieldwork. The direct ties between sound and movement guide my artistic practices and ethnographic methods. Throughout my fieldworks, I critically engaged with walking and its performative nature, drawing upon concepts such as Walking Art, sonic and critical walking, the notion of flânerie, dérive, and sensobiographical walking—approaches that I experimented with as a form of multisensorial ethnography.. Throughout my fieldworks, I critically engaged with walking and its performative nature, drawing upon concepts such as Walking Art, sonic and critical walking, Decolonial Flânerie, dérive, sensobiographical walking, water walks, and Audio walks artifacts—approaches that I experimented in my practices, with students in my teachings and with Amo collective Berlin as a form of multisensorial and collaborative ethnography.
