Join us for Edge Conditions: Narratives of Property, a walk led by Annabel Vaughan as part of Town + Country: Narratives of Property and Capital using a map she has designed for the occasion. The map is available for free at the Belkin front desk or as a PDF on our website for use on self-guided walks.

Annabel Vaughan will lead a conversational walk on the UBC Vancouver campus that explores notions of land, ownership and the boundaries that designate our movement from one location to another. As she explores different understandings of jurisdiction and ownership on the UBC Vancouver campus, you are invited to trouble the fiction created to uphold narratives of property and the thinking outside these boundaries that becomes necessary.

Please come dressed appropriately for the weather with comfortable walking shoes. The walk will last approximately one hour with multiple stops around West Point Grey.

There are no RSVPs required; please meet at the Belkin at 2 pm to join. If you miss the walk, the map is available at the front desk or as a PDF on our website for self-guided walks.
