In 2016, Okwui Okpokwasili began leading a series of outdoor processional walks in public spaces. Facilitating a multi-sensory exchange with public participants and the space, these slow walks invite the participants to explore their relationship to themselves, the collective, and the site-specific nature of the setting. In a procession work titled Market Thrum, Okpokwasili led a nine-person walk that explored the making of an “embodied collective” in the charged landscape of the South Bronx. These walks were further developed during residencies at Denniston Hill and Lewis and Clark College in 2017. Okpokwasili presented procession in Battery Park City as part of LMCC’s River to River Festival in 2021.
