Description

Being somewhere may be random or intentional. It may be a choice or a circumstance, it may be just for a little while or for a long time. However, what connects us to the spaces we occupy is our ability to observe, listen and describe them. In this 3-hour workshop, we will take Nicosia’s Old City as our focus and locus and immerse ourselves in it—absorbing it and interpreting it and picking up the trail that it leaves within us or the traces that our passage leaves there. Through reading and discussion of short texts and actual on-site writing, participants will learn how to observe and describe the spaces they inhabit more fully and meaningfully and how to communicate those experiences to others through different kinds of written texts.
