Sense-Walking workshop

Nottingham Sensory Studies Network and The Centre for Critical Theory invite you to participate in a:

Sense-Walking Workshop

In an era of terminal purposefulness, the acts of loitering, taking one's time and aimless wandering are under threat. Equally, as public spaces become subject to intensive practices of ordering and rationalisation, everyday movements are rendered as political undertakings. This workshop will seek to explore walking as both a sensory and political practice, so please join us for an afternoon of wayfaring, ambling, psychogeography and sound walking as we aim to rewrite the text of the campus.

Speakers and Workshop Facilitators:

MORAG ROSE (Sheffield) is a member of the Loiterer's Resistance Movement, a Manchester based collective of artists, activists and academics interested in public space and the hidden stories of the city. Her research is concerned with the potentialities of the feminist derive for a ludic urban landscape.

JENNIFER RICH (Nottingham) is AHRC Cultural Engagement Fellow at the Science Museum, London, who researches the politics and poetics of walking with sound.

When: Wednesday 15 June 2016, 2:00 - 6:00 pm

Where: Council Room, A21, Trent Building
