Decembers First Sunday

Greetings dear friends and fellow loiterers   First Sunday This Sunday and we will be gathering for our last wander of the year. The location has been chosen by request, we also explored the area at night last month and we will be marking change in our own curious way.   Please join us this Sunday, December 1st, starting 2pm in Cutting Room Square Ancoats.   For those who wish to join us for the first time or just fancy a refresher here's some useful info. Our walks are always free and everyone is welcome. The pace and direction is set by participants according to their needs and desires. This is NOT a guided tour but a psychogeographical exploration and experiment in creative walking with interesting folk. We move through the city together so please come prepared to navigate the urban environment. Walks last a maximum of 2 hours and finish somewhere where we can have a chat and share travellers tales. If you have any questions, specific access requirements or need more information please do get in touch mlrose@thelrm.org twitter @thelrm or on our facebook group "the loiterers resistance movement." I hope to see you on the streets soon With love and golden apples Morag xx

Point d’ouïe, accordage des lieux swingants

Parvis Saint-Gilles à Bruxelles Réflexes musico-motri-sensoriels. J’arrive dans une ville, un quartier inconnu, ou peu connu, par moi en tous cas. Exemple personnel cette semaine, le quartier Saint-Gilles à Bruxelles. En soirée, nuit tombée. En début de week-end. Presque en hiver, mais avec un temps frais et clément. Réflexe, le parcourir pour l’entendre, mieux l’entendre, … Continuer à lire ... "Point d’ouïe, accordage des lieux swingants"

Walk 51

Blairmore to Frank, Crowsnest Pass, AlbertaFollowing the trail that follows the Crowsnest River from town to town across the pass, I walked to Frank and back from the Gushul Residency in Blairmore. A windy day in the mountains, but it felt so good to be out on the trail putting one foot in front of the other again! I've been impeded by a foot injury for many weeks, but talks of walks with friends today - from the daily commute on foot to the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela - persuaded me to [...]

I came across a reference to this article in Stephanie Springgay’s and Sarah E. Truman’s Walking Methodologies in a More-Than-Human World: WalkingLab, one of many texts they refer to that have resonance for my own work. Watts begins with two creation stories: the Haudenosaunee story of Sky Woman, and the Anishinaabe story about the Seven […]

Prehistory: Why is it so entrancing?

Circles without Class Ceilings Why can prehistory be so entrancing? Why do some people find prehistory so entrancing? Why do they become so spellbound When walking by, let’s say, a long barrow? How do they become so transported in time and space? ...
