For b-side 2023

“The Line” is a walking performance re-drawing the lost line of a path in Portland’s heavily altered landscape due to the extensive extraction of natural stone. It is echoing b-side’s theme of ‘Common Lands’ by raising awareness and re-instating lost pathways across the island.

“The Line” builds on b-side’s pathways research project, continuing the conversation with local residents regarding rights of ways and access, developing proposals for temporary/permanent structures across this landscape in the future.
