A Mile in My Shoes | 2019

A Mile in My Shoes is a travelling shoe shop where visitors are invited to take a walk in someone else’s shoes – literally. In November 2019, this free storytelling exhibition popped up at Arts Centre Melbourne. Housed inside a giant shoebox, audiences were invited step inside, swap their shoes, slip on some headphones and take a walk as the shoes’ owner shared their story. Our Melbourne season featured a diverse collection of shoes and audio stories from locals that explored our shared humanity based on the theme of ‘water’. Created by London-based artist Clare Patey of Empathy Museum, this project explores how empathy can both transform our personal relationships and tackle global challenges such as prejudice, conflict and inequality.
