December 2024: A Creative Wander

Dear friends, comrades, lovers and loiterers 

It’s First Sunday, This Sunday and, somewhat discombobulatingly the last First Sunday of the year. How the devil did that happen?

Join us to ponder time flying, cities dreaming, buddleia conspiring and doubtless much else.

Meet 2pm this Sunday outside Manchester Craft and Design Centre, Oak St M4 5JD.

I don’t know exactly where we will go, but as ever our wanders wind collectively, with the pace and direction set according to our desires on the day. The only rules are take care of each other and the places we explore. And don’t be an arse.

All welcome, and free of course because these streets belong to everyone. Or they should do.

For more information please email [email protected] or text/whatsapp 07974929589

My heartfelt thanks, as ever, for all who walk with The LRM in person, through cyberspace and beyond

Love and golden apples

Morag xx

PS Our friends Our Irwell have a couple of walks coming up, details to be shared tomorrow. They aren’t psychogeographical but you will get to ramble with good folk by our beautiful river.

GPS, geo-poetic system

Geo-poetic system was a term coined by Lucy Frears during locative media art research (published 2017). The basis of geopoetics, a theory and practice developed by Scottish philosopher and poet Kenneth White, is to connect humans to the lines of the earth (White cited in McManus 2007: 183), or ‘what’s out there’ (Ingold 1993; 154; White 2005: 200; White 2006: 9). The contact White describes is often between the human mind and the earth, what he calls ‘landscape-mindscape’ (Legendre 2011: 121). Because of the embodied nature of locative media experiences using a smartphone in landscape for these walking art experiences using gps technologies Frears expanded this notion to being ‘landscape-mindscape-bodyscape’ (2017).
