Our rituals are changed when we are forced to migrate; our wayfinding, and history, is disrupted when public memorials and space are moved.
The way we move about and interact with each other in our cities can seem routine, but when faced with changing circumstances can take on very different meanings. When everything closes down, we realize our morning walk to the bus stop is actually our ritual for welcoming a new day. A makeshift memorial on the sidewalk can instantly move us into a space of ritual, just as landmark removal can shift how we tell directions and even understand our history. The films in this program look at the way we interact, see, and acknowledge each other and the world around us on the streets of cities, and collapse the space between ritual and routine.
