Psycho Geography – An ephemeral view of Saskatoon’s Urban Fabric

Walk Name:  Psycho Geography – An ephemeral view of Saskatoon’s Urban Fabric

Walk Leader(s):  Shawn Storry

Description of Walk leader(s) and/or why you are leading this walk (optional):

The built environment directly affects people, and is perceived differently by every individual.  Individual experiences of public spaces are defined by race, ethnicity, age, gender, how the individual is dressed, and what a person is thinking.  These subjective demographics all contribute to the experience of that particular individual.  The idea of how the city can affect a person fascinates me.  Psychogeography is another way to have the city affect an individual ultimately altering the way the city can be perceived.  The term is a mid-century modern concept becoming more commonly identified as the sub-genre situationist movement.  Situationists provide an alternate view, concept, and way to move throughout the city – sometimes referred to as wayfinding.

Duration: 1 hour
