Overview
This course seeks to explore the concept of participatory walking in relation to creative practice and the urban space. Students will engage in a variety of artistic projects, exercises, and experiments aimed at developing a broad understanding of multimedia art. The entire course is held outside so as to guarantee a full-fledged connection with the urban space. The fabric of the city will be assessed through the mapping of architecture, sounds, natural elements, textures, street art, and borders. Each module of the course incorporates the study of significant artists and techniques, together with practical exercises designed to stimulate student's sensorial and artistic skills.
