@gessicasakamoto.bsky.social🧡Thank you!!
@saloneurope.bsky.socialReposted by @gessicasakamoto.bsky.social📢 Exciting news! 📢
Last summer in Brussels, a group of EWS writers roamed the streets of Brussels mapping them in their own unique ways.
The results are now available as a beautiful illustrated book
@gessicasakamoto.bsky.socialGot involved in this cool project last year, which somehow resulted in me walking the streets of Brussels chasing goats and writing a prose poem about it, which now appears in this cool anthology! 🐐 First launch: October 15, London 🇬🇧
@insurgentpress.bsky.socialReposted by @gessicasakamoto.bsky.socialOn the 14th of September 2026 a crack squad of insurgent cartographers descended on Brussles to map the psychogeography of Europe’s bureaucratic centre. We'll be letting the results loose in this anthology soon.
