shadow walks

English to Spanish Other International Org/Dev/Coop
Conduct accessibility audits and shadow walks.

El contexto: es una de varias instrucciones para que el personal de una ONG vaya a chequear si el camino a los pozos de agua es seguro para las mujeres (pues hay guerrillas que acosan a las mujeres).

Supongo que quiere decir acompañar a las mujeres, pero no lo sé. Gracias!

Acompañamiento /seguimiento en el camino

Por el contexto, creo que se refiere más bien a acompañar a esas personas en sus recorridos, para asegurarse de que están bien. Lo de "shadow" podría referirse a que permanecen algo alejados u ocultos de las personas a las que acompañan.

repetición de rutas o caminos ya trillados

por lo que dice aquí se trata de recorrer caminos ya recorridos, rutas habituales,

creo que sombra aquí no va
suena a algo siniestro o no claro...
mejor repetir rutas, pasar por caminos.. alguna adaptación en ese plan

LISTEN BIOGRAPHY SHADOW-WALKS ARCHIVE

SHADOW-WALKS

I began my ongoing series Shadow-walks in 2003 and since then it has occurred in cities, towns and villages throughout Asia, the Americas, Canada, Europe and Australia.The process is straightforward. I arrive in a new place and ask local inhabitants to take me on a special walk, one that has been repeated many times and has meaning or significance for that person. While walking together, I record our conversations and the sounds of the environment. I then go back along the same route alone, trying to get a sense of my previous companion’s traces on the walk. Then I sing what I feel using wordless improvisations.
The many hours of recordings made in the place are then taken back to my studio, selected and edited together to become the final work, the Shadow-walk. These raw materials are my singing, the conversations and the environmental sounds. When I begin to shape the work, I already have all of its elements. Except for equalisation, nothing new is added in the studio. All sounds and singing heard in the final composition have been recorded in the actual location.

I began Shadow-walks after finishing a different project, one that required me to walk the same route repeatedly over several months. When I no longer did this daily walk I was surprised to notice my sense of nostalgia for it. It had become my “special walk” with some significance for me. I began to wonder whether this was a common experience for other people too if a walk is repeated over and over again, does it become meaningful for that person as if they had left some part of themselves there? James Joyce wrote that places remember events. I find this idea very engaging - as if everything that happens leaves traces that we might be able to sense. If a person walks through certain places repeatedly, along the same route, does that act of walking leave a trace? In a sense Shadow-walks is an attempt to make a person’s traces, their shadow, audible through my singing, improvising voice.

caminos de las sombras

Pienso que alguien de la organización no gubernamental primero comprueba el camino para saber que está bien y seguro para las mujeres y así para todos.
Hay un referente de un diccionario urbano que así entiendo
'Un caminante de las sombras camina la línea entre la luz y la oscuridad, sin nada liado a un lado u otro. Sin morales ni emociones que pongan dudas entre su habilidad de juzgar, un caminante de las sombras puede completar tareas y resolver problemas de una manera lógica y eficaz. Pueden ser una pequeña secta secreta de portadores de una fuerza que retiran de los lados iluminados y oscurecidos, dándoles un poder sin medición.'

The reference explains:
'A shadow walker walks the line between light and darkness, with no link to either side. Without morals or emotions that could place doubts on his ability to judge, a shadow walker can complete tasks and solve problems logically and efficiently. Shadow walkers can be a small and secretive sect of carriers of a force retracted from either of the lightened or darkened sides, giving them an immeasurable power.'

In another expression, someone who shadows others follows them behind.
Example sentence:

EN: Someone from the non-governmental organization firstly walks the way to check that it's safe for the women and all others.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Cindy Molina Nuñez : No se refiere a caminos en sino a caminatas y recorridos
