What happens when we use a stranger’s hand as a map? When walking strategies, ecologies and possible narratives merge into one shared practice? This performative walk begins with an intimate gesture: participants draw lines into each other’s hands, using them as guides through the Bijloke site. Walking in pairs, we arrive at a more-than-100-yearold apple tree, where fruits seem to linger beyond their season, suspended from its branches. We pause for a shared, meditative moment of storytelling, honouring traditional fruit varieties as living archives and regional heritage.
