Speculative Muddles in Barnes with Virginia Woolf and companions
In Barnes we walk sub/urban commons, activated by the walk Route Haunting, A Barnes Adventure.
The route explores concepts about the public and private, what Compulsory lives are & navigation skills to experiment with what it is to be with Others. We walk-with rights-of-way and subdivision to speculate about muddles with Virginia Woolf and companions.
Below is an an/archival collection of references linked elsewhere. It is a container organised by subject and theme, rather than sequenced by reference to the original zines and walks they come from. Explore and let curiosity guide you.
