being stuck inside has made me think a lot about Elastic-City, known for its participatory walks, but was/is much, much more than that.
i'm just home, but i think about what i can do to be present in where i am
and i think about what i can do to draw and feel like i can put good ideas and bad ideas on my little whiteboard and do something with it or erase it all and do it again. i mostly erase all of it.
and i think about how i can de-stress, even if it is just to check in with myself for a second.
Yoooo did a great walk with some similar artists in Cincinnati called Stairwells (https://stairwells.org/about/) in 2015:

I learned a ton on the walk about looking differently at Cincinnati (mostly, noticing how many stairs there were in such a hilly city). There's a ton of imaginative space and planning we can do for stuff like this in the future.
