Vivian Caccuri’s Caminhada Silenciosa (Silent Walk)

Organised by the Walking Institute of Deveron Arts in collaboration with Instituto MESA and MAC Niterói,

this Silent Walk led by artist Vivian Caccuri at Niterói's coast was a four-hour route along the seaside path between the Museum of Contemporary Art of Niteroi and Jurujuba in Brazil, a traditional fishing neighbourhood of the city. A group of twenty people walked under a vow of silence along the beaches, squares, halls, decks and private spaces, meeting unexpected situations, special acoustic impressions and improvised urban conditions that foster perceptions of noise and images of the city. At the end of the walk, participants gathered for a meal in Jurujuba to talk again about the experience.
