(Baltimore edition) The Center for Questioning and Questioning and Questioning?&nbsp;is series of 1-on-1, site-specific guided walks. This edition includes 14 walks on the Jones Falls trail in Baltimore, a site marked by a long history of mill developments, industrial contamination and urban planning. Acting as the staff member of the Center, Bao invites one participant per walk to ask any question. As an exchange for their question, Bao walks with the participant along the trail, inviting them into improvised singing, performative actions and intimate conversations. Together, they discover the answer through observing the trail’s natural and man-made elements. This experience includes 2 pathways that the audiene can choose from.A question gives rise to a conflation of contemplation, delight, wonder, or perhaps, tears.&nbsp; ︎︎︎Pathway #1 ︎︎︎Pathway #2 ︎︎︎The Center’s Archive <img width="2702" height="1800" width_o="2702" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5370c0a6f00864389105acb9354170b7ea9da0373512cb1e9c6333f48416a11a/Screen-Shot-2023-05-31-at-2.59.41-PM.png" data-mid="184352944" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5370c0a6f00864389105acb9354170b7ea9da0373512cb1e9c6333f48416a11a/Screen-Shot-2023-05-31-at-2.59.41-PM.png" /> Credit: Conceived and Performed by Bao NguyenCo-produced by Joyce Liang and Cliff BanquetGraphic design by Hayden Wright Photo documentation by Lianghong Ke Site consultation by Anna Brackett&nbsp; Test audience members: Ruth Huang and Sarah Leiva https://baonguyenstudio.com/1-landing-page Mon, 26 Jun 2023 15:11:21 +0000 Bao Nguyen https://baonguyenstudio.com/1-landing-page https://baonguyenstudio.com/and-their-land-vol-1-vol-2 Wed, 18 Mar 2026 02:31:49 +0000 Bao Nguyen https://baonguyenstudio.com/and-their-land-vol-1-vol-2 and their land vol.1 &amp; vol.2 https://baonguyenstudio.com/home-I-am-a-tree-in-your-life Thu, 13 Feb 2025 01:18:03 +0000 Bao Nguyen https://baonguyenstudio.com/home-I-am-a-tree-in-your-life I am a tree in your life https://baonguyenstudio.com/home-the-center-for-questioning-baltimore Mon, 26 Jun 2023 16:22:04 +0000 Bao Nguyen https://baonguyenstudio.com/home-the-center-for-questioning-baltimore The Center for Questioning...?
