Lit Walk: Memories, Dreams, Reflections [EN]

​“Time present and time past are both perhaps present in time future, and time future contained in time past.” — T. S. Eliot, Burnt Norton

​In this edition of the Lit Walk, we turn our attention towards the unstable nature of memory. What happens to the past dissolved into memory? What happens to the shape of individual events after recall? What can be said of the rooms, streets, landscapes and other half-remembered spaces we have left behind?

​Bring a poem, story, essay, diary entry, letter, translation, fragment or other literary artefact to read aloud. Reading from a printed text is encouraged, but reading from a phone is not a problem. Dropping in simply to listen is also perfectly fine.

​Participants may also contribute a short original piece for a small paper zine/pamphlet connected to the walk. Poems, recollections, drawings, maps, photographs and handwritten notes are all welcome. Contributions should ideally fit on one page and may be published under your name, a chosen name or anonymously.

​The zine will gather traces rather than document the event: remembered rooms, altered streets, uncertain images and places that may now exist only in the mind.

​Meeting point: in front of Restauracja Rozdroże 1974. The walk will begin in earnest at 14:10.

​A limited amount of coffee and wine will be served from a thermos, free of charge.

​Free event. Conducted in English.

​Texts in other languages are very welcome, but please bring an English translation.
