a literary event
SAVAGE MESSIAH 77777777777777777 NIGHT DRIFT THROUGH BABYLON: Tracing the
path of the lost River Walbrook ???????????????????? Stop the city riots,
Masonic geometry, radical history, 24 hour cafs, the search for clandestine
smoking dens and more???????????.
?Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reach?d the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean.?
S.T.Coleridge
On Wednesday 25th of July ,7-11pm,the Savage Messiah collective will be be
presiding over the Foundry, Great eastern street, London EC2 to celebrate
the release of issue 7 of fabled,cult zine SAVAGE MESSIAH by LAURA OLDFIELD
FORD.Issue 7 focuses on the E8 postal district and encompasses Hackney town
hall storming, Narrow way poll tax disturbances, attacks on Yuppiedromes,
Lidl shopping riots AND romantic encounters in abandoned Olympic velodromes
(c 2013). There will be zine signings, music, revelry and plotting.
????????????.then at closing time (11.30pm) the masses will assemble outside
the pub for a NIGHT DRIFT THROUGHT BABYLON. The SAVAGE MESSIAH will
facilitate a drift through the City of London attempting to trace the path
of the hidden River Walbrook. The Savage Messiah employs the tactic of
psychogeography to expose the repressed desires of the city.
The Savage Messiah seeks out nomadic architecture, transient architecture,
places that can slip out of sight, re emerge and reconfigure elsewhere.
Savage messiah drifts through the city in defiance of panoptican
surveillance,seeking out places that do not exist on official maps, she
roams through a maze of bolt holes, alleys and sites that slip through the
net. The Savage Messiah gravitates towards settlements and reconfigurations
of forms that become an outward manifestation of nomadic subjectivities.
Savage messiah welcomes participants to this walk to join a collective
cognitive mapping of the city and hopes that stories, anecdotes, drawings,
ideas generated on the route will become part of the next issue of the zine.
