Info
Curator and artist Raphael Daibert (Cruising Curators) is joined by curator and researcher Clementine Butler-Gallie (The ReRouting Project) for his walk proposition titled Why can’t horse statues be mares? This artistic research poses questions on monumentality, masculinity and narrations of victory, through noticing and inquiring the presence of horse statues’ scrotums and what might they mean. The walk will be organized in the surroundings of Haus der Kunst, where snippets of queer texts and manifestos will be collectively read under equestrian statues.
After the walk, Clementine and Raphael will conduct a discussion at the Mobile Bookshelf to present their recently launched book Walk Notations, that brings together traces emerging from the project Dissident Paths: Walking Together as a Method, a series of artistic walks across Berlin in 2025, curated by Cruising Curators and The ReRouting Project.
The book Walk Notations will be available for purchase at the event, with a special edition of a silk print by one of the project’s participating artists Natthapong Samakkaew.
Clementine Butler-Gallie is a Berlin-based curator and artistic researcher whose work is interested in nonmaterial, dialogue-based, and socially engaged artistic practices. She is founder and artistic director of The ReRouting Project; a curatorial platform that takes walking with others as a space for artistic encounters.
Raphael Daibert is a Brazilian curator, artist and educator based in Berlin. He is a PhD candidate at Leuphana University Lüneburg and his practice majorly focuses on artistic research and art projects that encompass curating, teaching and organizing. He is one of the founding members of Cruising Curators; a curatorial collective interested in performative practices that promote ephemeral and coincidental encounters in the public space.
Cruising Curators and The ReRouting Project worked on a collaboration (2025–26) at neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst (nGbK) called Dissident Paths, a year long program of artistic walks across Berlin which culminated in the publication Walk Notations.
The meeting point is Community Garden Ostwiese.
