Starring The Invernessers and The Torontonians, Nightwalks with Teenagers are three late-night walks through different landscapes in the company of a bunch of young people from Inverness and Toronto. What better way to spend an evening than strolling in the company of teenagers?

Mammalian Diving Reflex likes to make simple but unlikely things happen to see what happens when they happen. What might happen when a group of young people from Toronto works with a group of young people from Inverness to create a series of nightwalks, and then invite the public to join them? This is what we think will happen: we will get to know each other in an easy, casual way; we will see the ocean, forest, and town with shared eyes; we will have a good time; and we will feel better about the people with whom we share the world. But that’s just a guess. The only way to know for sure is to come out and see. Nightwalks with Teenagers, strolling with teenagers the way it was meant to be: at night, in Cape Breton.
Nightwalks with Teenagers is organized by Amish Morrell with the support of Inverness municipal councillor Jim Mustard as part of Diane Borsato and Stephanie Springgay’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada–funded study “The Institute of Walking: Research and Creation in Relational and Interventionist Art Practices.”
