The artist Agnes Poitevin-Navarre is currently gathering answers to plod on the new Proustian map and is requesting all interested Londoners to participate [apart from Tower Hamlets E2 section that is now closed]. The deadline is Friday 23rd March.

So far, the varied and interesting answers include:
Borough of Barnet – a drama teacher hoping to be ‘in Dorset, eating fish and chips by the sea’ whilst in neighouring Brent, a 19-year-old unemployed girl is hoping to ‘be where yesterday is envious of tomorrow’
Borough of Camden – an engineer hoping to be ‘home with his boyfriend and his dog’, someone happy to be ‘right here, right now’, or a solicitor ‘awash in a euphoria of reading and relaxation’
Borough of Lewisham , a man hoping to be ‘Shaking my tail feathers at Sydney Mardi Gras 2013’
Borough of Lambeth, a female digital storyteller hoping to be “In the middle of row C in the stalls at the Royal Opera House”
Borough of Hackney, a man hoping to be ‘among the English poets’, a woman ‘coccooned in a blanket of love with her partner for the rest of her life’
Borough of Waltham Forest, people mentioning Buckingham Palace, Miami, Lego shop, Canada or a Arsenal vs Tottenham match as their destination…
All 33 boroughs will be covered so please take part http://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/landofhopefulcommuters
