THE LRM

The Loiterers Resistance Movement

September 2021 First Sunday, in person online and at the 4th world congress of psychogeography

 Dear friends and fellow loiterers

First Sunday, this Sunday and its time for some more experimental #psychogeography in the (we hope) gorgeous September light. It would be wonderful to explore with you

We’re collaborating with the Fourth World Congress of Psychogeography whose theme this year is “playing out” – you can see their splendid programme of walks, talks and random shenanigans here: https://www.4wcop.org/2021---playing-out.html

There are several ways you can join The LRM on 5th September as we navigate connections in multiple places including cyberspace and city streets and we invite you to join us wherever you are.

In Manchester:

I will be in Piccadilly Gardens, near the memorial tree (Café Nero side of the space) at 1.45 BST ready to start promptly at 2pm. I’m still short with pink hair so hopefully easy to spot!

Online anywhere and everywhere else:

Prompts will be shared from 2pm in the following ways (thanks to John for helping to make this multiplicity possible)

In a private whatsapp group chat, to join this please text or whatsapp 07974929589 or email mlrose@thelrm.org by 12 noon on Sunday. Make sure you include your name and international code if you are not in the UK

On twitter @thelrm #Loiter4WCP

On our facebook group “the loiterers resistance movement”

On the blog at www.thelrm.org (see below)

Afterwards

The walk will last around 90 minutes and those who wish can join for a beverage in Manchester around 3.30pm. There will also be a zoom call on Tuesday 7th September 8pm BST for anyone who wants to share their walk experiences or find out more about The LRM

However you want to take part you are very welcome. As usual LRM events are free because we believe the streets (and psychogeography) belong to everyone. We only ask that you remember to take care of yourself, those around you and the environment you travel through. This does of course mean respecting others personal space, being Covid safe and not being an arse.

If you have any questions, comments or ideas for future walks, or there are any specific access requirements we can help with to enable you to participate please get in touch - email mlrose@thelrm.org or tweet @thelrm or whatsapp 07974929589

PS update on September 5th. Here are the prompts for those who cant join in elsewhere

 

1 Collect spheres, marbles, balls and planets

2 Find or make or imagine a line. Follow it

3 Look for golden apples and golden ducks

4 back (or front) of the net. What webs are woven in the street

5 Find game moves beneath your feet: look for instructions and follow them

6 Home run! Find something that makes you feel you belong here

7 Obstacle course – What is stopping you walk where you want to? How might others navigate differently

8 A game of two halves: Find matching pairs or perfect contradications
