Join LUB on a walk along Torshovbekken, through a ravine landscape shaped by water and marine clay over thousands of years. Today, the ravine is partly hidden, altered and built over, but traces of it remain. Through a series of stops, we explore how the landscape has shaped the city, and how the city has shaped the landscape.

The walk is led by LUB, with Anne Marte Aure, Paolo Ricci and Thibault Félix, and includes a talk by Eirik Refsdal from Akerselvas Venner, as well as an intervention by Tharan Åse Fergus from the Agency for Water and Sewerage Works (VAV), City of Oslo.

Collaborators: Alva Sand Venås and Tomine Furelid.

Along the route, artistic interventions will unfold as part of the walk, with contributions by Emilie Hellum Johansen, Impro Neuf, Oda Linnea Oliversen, Oslo Community Theatre and Uniah.

How can we take better care of these landscapes in the face of climate change, flooding, landslide risk and continued urban development? The walk invites us to see Oslo anew, through the nature that continues to move beneath the city.

The artistic contributions are supported by Arts Council Norway.

Meeting point: Tonsen Church, Oslo
Wednesday 23 September at 15:00
The walk ends at Sofienberg Church.

The walk lasts approximately two hours.
