SAVAGE MESSIAH  NIGHT DRIFT THROUGH BABYLON: Tracing the
path of the lost River Walbrook  Stop the city riots,
Masonic geometry, radical history, 24 hour cafs, the search for clandestine smoking dens and more…………………………….

          “Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
           Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
           Then reach’d the caverns measureless to man,
           And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean.”
                                          S.T.Coleridge

On Wednesday 25th of July ,7-11pm,the Savage Messiah collective will be be presiding over the Foundry, Great eastern street, London EC2 to celebrate the release of issue 7 of fabled,cult zine SAVAGE MESSIAH by LAURA OLDFIELD FORD.Issue 7 focuses on the E8 postal district and encompasses Hackney town hall storming, Narrow way poll tax disturbances, attacks on Yuppiedromes, Lidl shopping riots AND romantic encounters in abandoned Olympic velodromes
(c 2013). There will be zine signings, music, revelry and plotting…. then at closing time (11.30pm) the masses will assemble outside the pub for a NIGHT DRIFT THROUGHT BABYLON. The SAVAGE MESSIAH will facilitate a drift through the City of London attempting to trace the path of the hidden River Walbrook. The Savage Messiah employs the tactic of psychogeography  to expose the repressed desires of the city. The Savage Messiah seeks out nomadic architecture, transient architecture, places that can slip out of sight, re emerge and reconfigure elsewhere. Savage messiah drifts through the city in defiance of panoptican surveillance,seeking out places that do not exist on official maps, she roams through a maze of bolt holes, alleys and sites that slip through the net. The Savage Messiah gravitates towards settlements and reconfigurations of forms that become an outward manifestation of nomadic subjectivities.

Savage messiah welcomes participants to this walk to join a collective cognitive  mapping of the city and hopes that stories, anecdotes, drawings, ideas generated on the route will become part of the next issue of the zine.
