The (mis)guided Tours is a critical and creative approach to urban walking tours. The project was created in 2019 by Laurem Crossetti, an art and architecture researcher who worked as a tour guide. Her goal is to question urban narratives and explore new approaches to the format of guided walking tours.

The first edition was presented at Porto Design Biennale. Four artists and two art collectives were invited to create original walking tours connecting their artistic interests with different areas of the city. Working closely with the curator, each artist/collective created one walking tour approaching themes such as urban transformation and gentrification, feminism, ephemeral collectiveness, drawing and urban space perception, sustainability and activism, and colonialism. The project understands the urban space as a complex network of objective and subjective elements becoming the ideal battleground for multidisciplinary debates involving art, architecture, design and politics.
