Pauline Cummins and Frances Mezzetti are feminist artists who challenge essentialist fixed identities, in their series of performances: ‘Walking in the Way’

The performances take place in cities where the two female artists take on the mannerism, gestures and physicality of male presence in the public arena they have selected. The focus of each piece develops from the general to the particular and each one is unique to that city.

An important part of the research process is informed by making connections with key figures in each of the selected cities. The performances are observational, transient works with a core meaning and resolution.

They have taken place in eight different cities, Dublin, Belfast, Edinburgh, Derry/Londonderry, Istanbul, Madrid, Seville, and Malaga.
