Explore the local histories & personal narratives riven into the fabric of our cities & towns as lecturer & anarcho-flâneuse MORAG ROSE navigates us through her new Pluto Press book THE FEMINIST ART OF WALKING—a field-guide to reclaiming space & a psychogeographic celebration of the many women who use walking as a tool for creativity, activism & resistance.
‘[Morag] Rose evocatively demonstrates the power of walking as not only a source of individual connection to place, but as a critical form of collective engagement that helps us rediscover, and fight for, what matters to our communities...’ LESLIE KERN, author of FEMINIST CITY
This event will be chaired by Birmingham-based writer & editor RACHEL SEGAL HAMILTON.
MORAG ROSE is Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Liverpool. Her research interests include feminist psychogeography, public space, inequality and urban regeneration, alongside walking as artistic, political and cultural practice. She contributed to the AHRC-funded research project Walking Publics / Walking Arts: Walking, Wellbeing and Community during COVID-19. In 2006, she founded a psychogeographical collective, the LRM (Loiterers Resistance Movement), which facilitates free monthly communal wanders across Manchester and beyond.
This is one of our PLACE events, taking drifts, detours & derives with writers exploring the contemporary practices of psychogeography, hauntology, creative walking & our relationship with the places & spaces that make us.
