Workshops
Writing on the Wall
This workshop explores how visual practices such as murals, street art, and site-specific interventions can serve as tools for navigating and reimagining urban space. Working directly with the city's surfaces and public interfaces, participants explore image-making as a way to engage local narratives, mark presence, and reclaim overlooked or contested spaces.
