Abstract

A visual essay and short reflective text that works in response to the images within, and the experiences felt, as I was taken on a gentrification walk of a deprived council estate on the edge of Salford, in the North West of England. Split into two sections, the writing is a response to four photographs taken while guides, X and Y of the ABC, highlighted the manufacturing of precarity and engineered deprecation in the area. Originally written as one of a collection responses buy a number of participants to their politically orientated walks, the short visual essay outlines how visual practices and photo-walking as a methodology enable us to see otherwise invisible aspects of slow, political and administrative violence.
