"A Mis-Guide to Anywhere" Launches in London

Wrights & Sites is launching "A Mis-Guide to
Anywhere", a new handbook for exploring cities, at the ICA in London on
the 8th April. The launch will follow an afternoon of walks, each based
on a page from the book and each ‘led’ by one of the organizers of the
event.

 The walks will each last about 90 minutes and will set off
from the ICA: 12.30pm ‘The problem of shopping’ (Cathy), 12.45pm ‘Out
of place’ (Stephen), 1pm ‘Scales’ (Simon), 1.15pm ‘Masses’ (Phil).

Here is some background Phil sent me about the way the new book has evolved.  

"We have been three years in making the new book, including walks in
Shanghai, rural Zambia, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Manchester, Paris, the
island of Herm… ‘A Mis-Guide To Anywhere’ is our new guide to seeking
out places of change in the city, the Anywhere that anyone can find.
When we published ‘An Exeter Mis-Guide’ three years ago we were very
surprised that it attracted an international readership - it's now
taught in numerous theatre, fine art and geography departments in
universities around the world. The fact that a guidebook designed for
use in a small provincial English city could be used in cities like
Bangalore, Melbourne and Washington, inspired the making of ‘A
Mis-Guide To Anywhere’. "

 
Congratulations Wrights & Sites ! Wish I could be there to walk and talk it up!
