A Psychogeographic Passeggiata From Massey College Into the City – With Shawn Micallef
Massey College and U of T is in an enviable location in the middle of Toronto, something to take advantage of and not overlook while deep in your studies (and a walk is the best balm when that gets too much). On September 19 after dinner, we’ll take a psychogeographic walk through the neighbourhoods around Massey, maybe into a nearby ravine, through a variety of dramatically different urban and natural landscapes. A psychogeographic walk is a wander, a drift, not a commute or a rush. It’ll be casual, easy, and our conversations will bounce off the city we pass through. This round trip will be approximately two hours, and return to Massey at the end. Please meet Shawn at the front gates at 7:30pm to depart.
