Peek-Skill, May I Borrow Your Eyes?

Having been to Peekskill once for the duration of a few hours, I recall some of its streets, talking with a family as they waited for a bus, ordering food at a Latino restaurant, and eating by a curb near the main square. Two years later, I am interested in inviting residents to give me tours of their favorite parts of the city, to choreograph with these journeys a geography I will only see through someone else’s sight. These promenades will allow participants to  revisit everyday surroundings from a visitor’s perspective. My eyes will be closed from the time I arrive at Peekskill until the time I depart. No squinting.
