In October 2019, Escape Velocity invited audiences to Walk the City hand-in-hand with local trans and gender non-conforming young people on a unique journey offering gentle connection and fresh perspectives. Escape Velocity Walks the City was created by Rosana Cade with Ivor MacAskill, Laurie Brown and St Martins as part of Future Echoes at Arts Centre Melbourne.

“An insight into how freely I move about my world. What can I do to help make a change? Everybody needs to do this walk.”

“I got a sense of the courage it must take to walk the streets of the city, navigate spaces as a gender diverse person. I felt vulnerable, I felt supported & strong when walking hand in hand.”

“It was moving and simple. Touched me deeply. I felt such care for the young people both during the walk, but especially after hearing their stories.”
