Road Less Travelled Vol. 1
This volume started with an invitation ---
[ Dear friend]
could you share an action with me?
I’ve started a publishing initiative called ‘Road Less Travelled Press’. Each volume will be a collaboration and exploration of individual or collective action in public space – from small acts of kindness between strangers and care in the public to activist activity and street protest.
As part of this, I wanted to invite you to contribute a documentation of one act/action in public space with me; something you have been involved with or that you experienced, observed, seen.
Over the next few months, I’ll be producing Volume 1 and an invitation to others to work on future volumes together. To explore new ways of collective making, I wanted to open up this process early on and welcome your contribution and input for this first volume!

During 2021, contributions developed through email exchanges, conversations and a shared google document. Designer Rose Nordin and I met regularly, sharing ideas and working on the publication layout. Riso pages were printed by Jordan Taylor/ Pagemasters.
The first 50 copies were printed and bound together with 7 of the contributors of this publication in spring 2022 and circulated amonst contributors & friends.
