1. What do you want to make ? - general introduction ( what is it, a book? A film, an instalation What audiance it aim for, what location, describe any specifics you can

Magazyn który ma kilka wydań i stanowi kontynuację. Nie zaczyna się z intencją by ostatecznie dotrzeć w konkretne miejsce, raczej przyjmuje formę ciągłej obserwacji, wymiany, rozmowy, nawarstwiania, szukania znaczeń, dopisywania, notowania między wierszami, fragmentowania obrazu i układania na nowo.

Magazyn skupia się na akcie obserwowania pokazując fragmenty rzeczywistości zauważone przez proste papierowe maszyny czy viewing frames.

A magazine that has several issues and forms a continuation. It does not begin with the intention of ultimately reaching a specific destination, but rather takes the form of continuous observation, exchange, conversation, layering, searching for meanings, adding notes, jotting between the lines, fragmenting images, and rearranging them anew.

The magazine focus on the act of observing and participating by displaing fragments of reality noticed through simple paper machines/ devices, viewing frames.

I wold like to opened up the potential for different narratives. Without favoring any of them, simply giving space for everyone to share what we see and how the myriads of stories constitute an urban environment.

2. How do you plan to make it? How you will go about conducting your research and practice ( COMBINING, READING, WRITING AND PRACTICE) steps ill make to realise it Steps what steps ill take to realise it

- Paper machines devices

- Turn a room into camera obscura ( seeing, participation, describing what you see and checking with others what they see)

- Join a workshop on collective writing

- Invite people to play with paper machines, consider what we are paying attention to

- Work on a magazine

3. What is your time table Steps and how it tranlstate to timetable Order in which thinks will be done

Think about your audience, how you will approach them Include that in your plan

4. Why do you want to make it? What might other people find relevant about this project ?

I’m drawn to zine festivals, to playing with paper, images, and text. To quick, spontaneous zines, made together with others because they bring so much fun. I love festivals around printed matter and how they create a community of people sharing a common passion, while also contributing to the decentralization of knowledge, exchanging references, inspiring each other, and learning from one another. I love this environment and want to derive from it, but also be a part of it.

Why I want to read a city?

Because it allows me to walk without any apparent purpose Because its an act againts efficiency at all cost Because I can encounter unexpected objects Because I never know where it will take me Because it's inspiring Because I can practice different walking patterns Because I can see from perspective of someone else Because I can find places for play For reflection For rest Because I find places that otherwise I woulnt find Because it encourages me to talk with strangers Because there is so much beauty Because I want friction Surprise Unpredictability Because it made me notice houses that look like they are hugging the one in the middle Bacause reading the city helps to see connections Because I can notice others who are present in the space Because it gives me time to observe "angry sky" Because it allows to learn from each other

I'm intrested in collective resistance against efficiency, and success at all costs. In spaces collectively organised, shifting towards care, generosity, and attention rather than efficiency and perfection. Maybe a sense of humour and unlearning practices can help us mobilize us collectively, embrace differences and celebrate our individuality. Therefore I find it important to question how we learn and from whom. Thats why for now I want to continue with the topic of Learning City, and the question of how knowledge production can be more horizontal.

I'm curious what can be done through text. I'm inspired by uncreative writing where words are shared, reused, recycled, duplicated, gifted, reorganized. How the layering of these words can serve to overturn hierarchies and seek new meanings. How these words can convey someone's individual experience.

 5. Who can help you and why?

Anyone that can help you with the project Stimlate yo to think about the netwprk around you that can help you with that project

6. Relation to previous practice How it builds upon the previous practice

The topic of Learning city - I see it as a continuation of themes that last year that I still want to learn more about \

7. Relation to a larger context Whre you situate your work in relation to other aryists or theory

Paragraph where you can pinpoint atoms of what is out there, showing the awareness of broasder context

8. References Works taht inform your work Bibliography (wikipedia is not a reference to mention)
