(Repost) Our fourth episode takes us on a tour of cemeteries throughout the past 200 years

We explore how benches are used in museums and how they are in turn worthy of display.

The Touching Benches team spent Sunday 7/9/17 at the Oregon Country Fair.

Join Touching Benches at a bench in memory of Pac-Man, a homeless man who was murdered in 2009, and explore the ways public spaces, and defensive architecture, signal who belongs, and how to occupy public space.

(Repost) Our second episode focused on Ken Kesey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Next, and the use of benches in film.

Join us on our run, learn the difference between yogging and jogging, hear us discuss bench plaque maintenance and etiquette, and listen in as we pitch our new project guerilla benching!

We talk Hayward, Bowerman, Dellinger, and Steve Prefontaine when exploring how Eugene, OR became known as Track Town USA.
