PROTEST

In 2016, poet and activist Mark Baumer began walking barefoot across America to protest climate change. Words from his last blog entry: “If you see me at a gas station I’m probably the one sipping on a jar of salsa…we are honestly going to soon be living in the greatest mass extinction humanity has ever experienced.” 

protest explores the conflict of having a conscience and a body. Catherine walks barefoot from Providence, Rhode Island to Perris, California, updating her video blog daily, beset by online trolls, swollen feet, too many bananas, boredom, laughter, poverty, crying. A good tip: stay on the painted white line when walking on the road barefoot, it’s cooler and smoother.
