As part of ongoing research and writing on conflicting imaginaries of the green city, I spent a one-month residency at The Green Corridor in Brussels, experimenting with different approaches to walking as a tool for research into lived experiences of urban ecology.

The Vegetal Enactments were a series of realisations of walking and listening scores by artists, situated in and across landscapes of overlapping and divergent ecological formations. They opened questions both about those landscapes and our ways of knowing them. As scores invite us to move and listen ways that expand beyond habit, what else can be known? How is the same place sensed and mapped via different enactments?

By enacting scores both alone and together and with the community of The Green Corridor, we opened discussions about what it means to live in the new landscapes that constitute the green city, and the kinds of knowledge we might need to read their implications for urban public life.
