城市田野:伦敦peckham食物景观漫步
Urban Fieldwork: The Foodscape of Peckham


Peckham, in southeast London, became an immigrant hub in the late 20th century, attracting people mainly from the Caribbean (Jamaica, Barbados) and West Africa (Nigeria, Ghana), as well as some from Eastern Europe and South Asia. The streets are lined with shops offering spices, fruits, and dry goods like cassava, fufu, green papaya, and salt cod, alongside restaurants serving dishes such as Jollof rice, Egusi soup, and Pounded yam.

In this event, we will explore Peckham together, observing the selection of ingredients, spatial layout, and signage design of the shops, as well as the behaviors and interactions of shop owners and customers, which will be documented in our field notes. Each participant will also purchase a unique ingredient and share their discoveries during the final discussion.

测绘本地食物:食物小志
Measure the Local Food—— Food zine making


Is ‘local food’ an illusion? English tea, fish and chips, Worcestershire sauce… These traditional foods, now localised, have origins and supply chains that cross the world. The dichotomy between the global and the local has become a paradox, as the concept of locality is no longer defined solely by physical distance. Tracing the origins of food has grown increasingly complex, making the lines ever more blurred.

In this workshop, we will explore, deconstruct, and redefine the concept of ‘local food’ through the creation of a food zine. Participants will design their own ‘local food measurements’, reflecting on the nonlinear expansion of the food system.

拜访伦敦地脉
A Visit of London Ley Line


Ley lines, believed to be ancient energy pathways on Earth, were rediscovered in 1921 by Alfred Watkins in Herefordshire, England. Watkins noticed that landmarks like hilltops, churches, and town halls aligned in straight lines, which he believed were channels for spiritual energy, marked by historical relics. His findings led to widespread interest in mapping these lines. This time, A Visit of London Ley Line will explore The Coronation Line, visiting six of its key landmarks.

春分清醒梦
Spring Equinox lucid dream.

Spring — when everything awakens and comes alive again, in this dream within a dream.

On March 20, the aphakia group will make a pop-up appearance at postpost (Xisi store), Beijing, inviting everyone to join a Spring Equinox lucid dream. During the event, we’ll talk about excerpts, about dreams, and create our own dream collages by hand. Materials from Magic Digest will be provided on-site, and you’re also welcome to bring your own images or texts for collage-making.
