Křižíkova 20/12, 186 00 Prague 8 – Karlín
Meeting at the school entrance
What might an essay about a specific site look like? How can fiction be used as a tool for understanding, criticizing, and narrating urban space?
This workshop follows up on the previous seminar, which focused on field notes, and expands upon it by exploring shared experiences within a specific space. We will focus on a site in Karlín — a contemporary development and public space on privately owned land. The site will be explored through walking, observation, imagination, and collaboration. Working with the body, movement, text, and simple performative situations, we will engage in collective response and narration of the environment. Fiction will not be understood as an escape, but as a tool for critical reflection on space – a way to uncover its hidden layers, tensions, and the ways it is shaped and represented. The aim is not to create alternative utopias or future scenarios, but to engage in the “reading” and experiencing of architecture and public space through present collective action.
We will meet at 10:00 at the entrance of the school in Karlín and walk together to the selected site. The workshop is part of the Visiting Artist Studio program, but students from other studios are also welcome to join. Please register for the workshop via the registration form:
