Description
The city of Utrecht is both a city of the past and the future. Being one of the oldest cities of the Netherlands, Utrecht and its architecture remind us daily of earlier times. At the same time Utrecht presents itself as a city of the future: working towards ‘healthy urban living’, focusing on innovation, health economy and infrastructure. Scholars of Utrecht University are actively involved in research about the past and the future of the city. But what about the present?In this workshop we’ll research the concept of ‘the present’ by creatively mapping the here and now of the city with all our senses: we will be drawing and writing, using photography, soundscapes and our bodies to capture the multiple presences in the city at this particular moment: humans, non-humans, actions, interactions, mobilities, images, sounds, smells, energies, ideas and fantasies. We will use our findings to collectively discuss what the presence might entail.
This workshop is designed by the UU research group Creative Urban Methods (CRUM), in collaboration with The Open City Initiative and offered in the context of the Utrecht Summer School, Lustrum 2021
