This weekend at the JERSEY ART BOOK FAIR! @itsdense A very special generative writing walk taking place in Journal Square, Jersey City. Moving through transit corridors, commercial edges, and overlooked spaces, we’ll pause for short prompts based on what we encounter. This walk considers Journal Square as a place defined by passage, both physically and through time, where histories of entertainment, farmland, and rapid development coexist within the present landscape. These moments become the basis for brief passages, digressions, and stream-of-consciousness writing Please bring a notebook and writing utensil! 📆 Sunday, May 3, 2026 ⏰ 12:30–2:00pm 📍 Jersey City, Mana Contemporary Courtyard Link in bio to RSVP See you there 🍃

Excited to announce Writing En Plein Air, a walk and writing workshop with @pppedestrian and @moving.school aka Alex Wolfe, Sunday 11/23, 1pm—4pm. Writing En Plein Air is a generative writing walk led by Alex Wolfe in collaboration with The Last Straw. This walk invites you to step outside and gather writing material directly from the landscape. Over the course of the afternoon, you’ll move through both cityscape and nature, using what you notice to spark new ideas or deepen pieces already in motion. Your observations will become the seeds for meditative episodes, quiet digressions, and stream-of-consciousness vignettes that explore the meeting point between the outer world and your inner life. Alex Wolfe is a writer and artist based in Brooklyn. His writing has appeared in The New York Times, and he has led walks for Princeton University, the Swiss Institute, the Municipal Art Society of New York, Parsons School of Design, and Salomon, among others. RSVP on Luma (link in bio), $5 entry and a pay what you can at the conclusion of the event. This event is capped at 30 participants.

Our explorations will draw on journals, found materials, online archives, and personal histories—alongside examples from literature, art, film, music, and oral histories.
