Exploring the different ways walking “performs” and intervenes in public spaces, she encourages collective debate, questioning how buildings embody social practices and how inhabitation itself is a form of social practice. How can we interrogate buildings to call out these practices – when organised around exclusion or for amassing cultural capital?
Catherine Harrington’s practice reflects her lifelong engagement with environmental, urban, and social issues, and training as an architect. A key component of her work is facilitating walking art events and performative works.

As part of this year’s Antiuniversity Now series of events, Occhi is proud to support Catherine’s ‘Reshaping Histories’ – a guided walk around Lincoln’s Inn Fields (LIF) to investigate the spatial practices and social habits of its public spaces and buildings of its historic built fabric along with its more recent and upcoming site transformations.
