About the event
FootNotes invites you on a wandering – and wondering – tour with a collection of essays intended as walking-writing meditations. You will be taken down a number of different meandering routes, some well-trodden others still untouched. FootNotes wishes to be patient with a wide range of experimental efforts, inviting forms of writing (in the broadest sense) that experiment and dare lose themselves, having the courage to walk on shaky ground. The conjoint idea of slow wandering and dreaming also hopes to topple the walls of authoritative writing all too often supporting colonial and other hierarchical power relations. Essays - in textual, photographic, video, or hybrid mode - seem to be particularly suited for this endeavour as they resemble never-ending long conversations. Such writing acts as a method that thrives on uncertainty, admits to unknowability, and welcomes the unexpected.
