This time last year #AMileinMyShoes had just opened at the Australian National Maritime Museum, sharing a collection of new stories from Australia’s diverse immigrant and refugee communities. Got us thinking also about this fragment from academic Andrea Witcomb, which the museum’s curator Kim Tao cited while we were making the project: “Affect works through evoking, moving or touching the viewer, producing a visceral response that promotes empathy rather than just simply sympathy. Feeling empathy is a prerequisite for dialogue, for the recognition of commonalities. While sympathy can reinforce differences by operating in terms of power relations, empathy can build bridges.”

But everyone is processing this differently, and I can’t change that

Today is our last in Cluj-Napoca – but there’s still plenty of time to visit #AMileinMyShoes if you haven’t yet! We’re at Str. Roosevelt 2/1 from 16h – 21h. And may we especially recommend walking in the shoes of the five local Cluj people whose stories we collected for the occasion?! It’s a special feeling to hear the voice and wonder if it belongs to that person hurrying past you, or that person sitting on the bench, or that person standing staring at you for wearing massive fluffy slippers in downtown Cluj…
