Welcome 


This year's event will run between 6-8 September 2024.

This year's Fourth World Congress of Psychogeography is hosted in the historic city of Canterbury. Our theme for the congress is ‘heritage and hiraeth’.

Heritage (attributive): Characterized by or pertaining to the preservation or exploitation of local and national features of historical, cultural, or scenic interest, esp. as tourist attractions.
Hiraeth (Welsh English): deep longing for a person or thing which is absent or lost; yearning; nostalgia; spec. homesickness.
Through a series of presentations, films, walks, walk scores, provocations, performances and workshops, the congress will explore the concepts of heritage and hiraeth. Expect to experience creative and critical responses to place-based nostalgia, psychogeographical approaches to heritage, sites of hauntings and longings, pilgrimage and site-specific (be)quests.

​Thanks to financial support from Canterbury Christ Church University, our events we will take place in the footprint of a UNESCO World Heritage site, with the option for those unable to join us in geographical space to be with us virtually for parts of Friday's programme.

About Us


​The 4th World Congress of Psychogeography takes place annually, usually during the first weekend of September. Until 2019, it took place in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, UK; in 2020 it happened online for the first time, because of the Covid-19 ‘lockdown’ restrictions, and drew a wide international audience. We are running the 4WCoP online again in 2023.  The organising group are all volunteers, and are a mix of creative minds, academics and shameless amateurs. We have no budget and are reliant on your generous donations. The University of Huddersfield is a valued partner, and in the past has provided venue, technical support and insurance. This year, when we are meeting online, we haven’t needed these things, but we look forward to working with the university again in future.
