Mis-Guides are like no other guides you have used before. Rather than telling you where to go and what to see, a Mis-Guide offers you new ways to see your city or environment. A Mis-Guide is both a forged passport to your ‘other’ city and a new way of travelling a very familiar one. An essential part of the toolkit of any 21st century survivor. A Mis-Guide often takes the form of a guidebook, or a map. It suggests a series of walks and points of observation and contemplation within a particular town, city, or landscape. Unlike an ordinary guidebook, it is guided by the practice of mytho-geography, which places the fictional, fanciful, fragile, or personal on equal terms with ‘factual’ municipal history. Author and walker become partners in ascribing significance to place.
