A mobile study from Dumbo, Brooklyn to the northern tip of Manhattan

Many great thinkers have been great walkers, too. From Thoreau to Virginia Woolf to James Baldwin, walking has been a source of intellectual inspiration – and also a unique way of thinking that brings together mind and body, interior life and exterior geography, individual and public.

For this moving study, we’re going to WALK – from the SoRA headquarters in Dumbo, Brooklyn, to Fort Tryon Park at the northern tip of Manhattan – and THINK together, on a range of texts (to be read in advance) by Thoreau, Rebecca Solnit, James Baldwin, and beyond. 

Our goal? To explore the embodied nature of thinking, to theorize and practice modes of collective study that take place on the move, and to consider the role of walking & thinking, together, in Attention Activism.
