“Calling all loiterers and urban explorers, artists of all kinds, walkers, talkers, map makers, historians, Situationists, space invaders, dreamers, mischief makers, moochers and anyone who is interested in looking at Manchester in a different way..”
Get Lost, Manchester’s second “accidental international festival of psychogeography” is now in full swing. For the next month the Loiters Resistance Movement, in association with Territories Reimagined: International Perspectives (TRIP), will be taking over the Royal Exchange Theatre and other city spaces to “cause a spectacle, have fun, tell stories, redraw maps, ignite debates, go for walks, uncover treasure and loiter with intent to make Manchester wonderful”. A full brochure is available from TRIP and events include ‘Pigeons Street’ lead by Jane Samuels and Lee Johnson, ‘Urban Camping’, ‘Joyce Walks‘—James Joyce’s Ulysses mapped out for any city in the world, not just Dublin—’Postcards from Nowhere’—Max Livesy’s art made from GPS systems—and Kickball Jesus.
