Routes and P(l)aces England follows women’s stories on foot through the English countryside. As a research-creation practice, it develops a walking philosophy of contested English landscapes: ground women have inherited and laid claim to. Walking with women’s narratives, literature and heritage, it reads these places through the lives that shaped them and asks how a walking body carries, questions and holds ground there.
These experiments in knowing and being are reflected in a printed zine and an Anarchive.
This is the anarchive: a work-in-progress, a countermap of encounters, a reference to enrich the subjects and walks in the zine.
It is neither a catalogue nor instructions for walking.
It is an invitation to discover more.
There are signposts, definitions, and tools to contextualize and enrich engagement with the walks and zines of Routes and P(l)aces: maps and GPX files, essays and explanations, photos and videos, field notes, journals, prose and other encounters.
