Oficina ‘Cirandar | desenhar a experiência do lugar’ ‘Wandering| drawing the experience of the place’ workshop

A oficina ‘Cirandar | desenhar a experiência do lugar’ envolve os participantes em duas experiências distintas: a relacionada com a percepção física e sensoral e a ligada à reflexão sobre as percepções, as sensações e á sua memória. Durante os dois dias de duração da oficina iremos ‘cirandar de manhã – caminhar, desenhar e fotografar. À tarde desenvolveremos um trabalho de estúdio partindo dos registos da manhã, das percepções e sensações experienciadas e da memória do espaço percorrido para efectuar vários trabalhos em suporte de papel onde se questiona, entre outras coisas, a relação da visão com os outros sentidos, de que forma a nossa atenção é direcionada, o facto da nossa percepção e a memória construirem ‘mapas’ de orientação (e de classificação) no espaço e no tempo, cartografias de sentidos e sensibilidades do real. Partindo das impressões e dos registos da manhã, exploramos e imaginarmos território(s) conhecido(s) ou desconhecido(s).Wandering| drawing the experience of the place Through drawing exercises it aims to expose participants to the experiences of a place, allowing them to express in visual forms an emotional cartography and/or a personal geography.
Walks will be taken in the morning with occasional breaks to observe and record the impacts of the sensory stimuli in ‘travel notebooks’ and using photography. The afternoon’s exercises (studio work) will begin by raising questions regarding vision’s predominance in relation with other senses. The participants will be encouraged to develop a personal mapping of the space based on previous memories that would interlace with the morning’s experiences. Maps give orientations but also can create the urge to get loss in space. We will be trying to build different reinterpretation of the real in order to find ‘coordinates’ to trace ways, paths, trails imaginary or real. Notion of space, place, and territory among other would be object of discussion.
The participants should bring all materials necessary for the workshop, as well as food for the picnic.
