Close Encounters was Commissioned by Creative Scotland for The Stove Network SW Scotland. This was a series of participatory walks with the public about and through the narrow ‘closes’ (alleyways) of an urban centre. The project was realised in collaboration with University of Keele Academic, writer and sociologist Andrej Zeleniec. Its aims, to develop new configurations and re-navigations of the urban space challenging the way we walk and how we see.
