Follow Y/Our River: A protocol for deep mapping liminal space
Saturday 23 Sept, part of panel 7, 12:30-13:30 pm
This proposal presents a project titled "Follow Y/our River." The project is based on a self-initiated artist residency conducted by hḗrā, tamara, and I (paula) along the river Lea Valley, where we explored the entanglement of human and non-human bodies of water. The residency resulted in two publications, "Follow Y/our River Lea-minal Edges: Prompts for Transitory States of Being" and "Follow Y/our River: A Manual for Deep Mapping in the Lower Lea Valley." Our objective for this project was to develop a protocol for deep mapping that captured the diverse aspects of Lea's liminal space. By combining photography, walking, collecting materials and field notes, the project aimed to capture the archaeological, ecological, sculptural, and archival sites in the Lea Valley. The protocol was designed to engage readers and visitors in the exploration of transitory states of being and the entanglement of human and non-human entities along the river. The project was presented through a book launch and exhibition at the Borough Road Gallery in May 2023. The exhibition included an editorial lab that invited readers to "follow y/our river" and create their own constellation of printed matter. Visitors were provided with a map at the entrance, guiding them to various working stations. The map features a visual index showcasing the dialogue between the artists and the fluid geography of the Lea
