The proposal was born from the lack of space and time for oneself in cities, and outlines an exercise of automatic immersive writing on one of the public buses of Line C1 Centre Històric (Historic Quarter), starting from EMT bus stop 796 – IVAM. The activity is split into three parts: the collective reading of texts related with the topic and explanation of the activity; travel and writing from the logbook; anonymous reading from the logbook texts.
