Psycho-geography Walk with Jo Vergunst & Emily McKay
Embark on a unique and immersive psycho-geographical exploration blending past and present, nature and culture. We will begin our walk at the New Kings building on the University of Aberdeen campus. This is not your average guided tour: this is an opportunity to engage with the environment in a meaningful and imaginative way as we reflect on the intricate connections between the landscape and human experience. Inspired by situationism, culture and community, join us to create a collective narrative that celebrates the rich tapestry of Old Aberdeen. No previous experience or knowledge required.
There is a small walking element to this tour so dress appropriately and please use booking form to alert us to any mobility and access requirements. For any queries you can contact the festival organisers via the about page.
This walk meets in front of New King's building. Please arrive 15 minutes early.

His early work was on farming and rural development, and over recent years he has worked on a wide range of themes - from walking in rural and urban areas, to landscape history and heritage, and wood as a craft material and landscape. He is especially interested in anthropology that works with artists and through creative practice.
