A) What do you want to write about ? Think about what you want to exploreand how do you want to tell your story

pool of ideas:

- Why I want to read a city

- Places camera / tool takes you

- Changing assumptions throug observation or thanks to observation. Changing your understanding of a place. Surprices that are revealed thanks to observing

- Scripts vs non linear narrative (inspired by observational cinema - there is no objectyive truth)

- Participation



B) Outline 3 key issues you want to explore



1. Exploration of how we perceive our surroundings.

What it means to be an expert observer


2. What kind of city we accually want? Larning city - urban space as a space activating diffrent ways of knowing, learning and being together. City as a space for (un)learning practices.


3. Caring and participating through self publishing

Hierarchy and dominant norm - How knowledge production can be more horizontal? De-hierarchicalization of knowledge - cultural exchanges, more intuitive langueage, using text, images to present other narratives Collective creations


How it connects……..

One question and turn that into 3 sub topics:

How I can connect to the city by reading it with others?
