walking with each other

In spring 2022, katharinajej visits places in her Cologne neighborhood that she used to pass by every day, but never entered, let alone made contact with the people there. In front of bistros, gambling dens and betting shops, she now talks to people she has never met before and invites them to go for a walk with her so that she can finally get to know them.

In retrospect, katharinajej writes about the encounters that took place.
The text tells of venturing into other milieus, of approaching strangers, of getting to know them, of possible encounters.
and possible connections, but also of the prejudices and racism that emerge.
