  2. Observing the ethos of Jokamiehen oikeudet, how do subtle forms of erasures and minor acts of everyday violence stand to challenge, threaten or unsettle the claim of Every Person’s Right (to roam)? The study of public space is a way to examine the existing as well as emerging hegemonic patterns which can further hold answers to queries related to how our current society may be organised.

    As part of the public art commission by the city of Turku and Titanik Gallery, the work mapped large swathes of the city on foot– stopping, staying, looking, drawing and making notes at various spots in the city.

    The work, Locus Amoenus, is a temporary public work at Rettiginrinne street in the city of Turku, extending upon the ongoing body of work – ‘Noticing and Note-Taking’. It engages artistic forms of recording and interpreting everyday social interactions in public spaces through acts of loitering.

    Led by the artist, the short walk (within one kilometre radius) takes on the format of the popular city tours but instead of discussing the city’s important sites and its history, Singh narrates brief anecdotes of her observations from the summer.


    The final stop includes a lecture-performance outside Aboa Vetus Ars Nova (in collaboration with Hanan Mahbouba, Dionysia Kang and Kommenttiraita).
