Ethos

Can a conversation shift a perspective? Can a shift in perspective change what is noticed? Can what we notice shape our thoughts, feelings, and actions? These are the hypotheses we test out every time we meet another person.

For many years, Just Looking has hosted mindful walks in London, UK. Each time, we have a different theme in the form of a philosophical thought experiment. We discuss and entertain the idea so as to embed it, then take a walk and see if it changes what we actually notice in the world.

During these walks and later workshops, too, many of us take our cameras and make photos of what we saw. The simple physical act of holding a camera in the hand can help ground us in the practice of looking. It's like tying a string around your finger to remember to do something—in this case, to look.

Over the lockdown period, we have experimented with online events and Zoom calls. There is something powerful about getting together in person - even if it is online - to share insights, stories, images, and smiles. And perhaps most importantly, there is the serendipity: you never know exactly what others will say and do and how you might respond in that moment.
