I read once about a psychogeographer who used the London Underground map to wander through Paris, letting two cities overlap to create a personal mythology of place. It is a flight of fancy where familiar lines and stations become portals into imagined worlds.

World-building through maps provides an engaging and playful experience. Maps become not just tools, but springboards for imagination – places where memory, story and invention collide to create landscapes that exist nowhere but in the mind.

What if a map could hold your memories? What if streets, rivers and squares carried the stories of the people, places, and moments that shaped them? In this workshop, maps become more than guides – they become landscapes of memory.

Choose a map that calls to you: a distant city, a historic or ancient landscape or a make-believe world. You will be provided with a big selection to choose from (or you can bring your own) as well as old magazines and other materials to help you build your unique landscape.

Through collage, drawing and writing, you will transform your chosen map into a personal memory landscape.

Let streets become timelines, landmarks anchor stories and hidden corners open onto imagined worlds.

As you work, wander freely between past and present, memory and imagination. By the end, you will have created a richly layered map that is part artwork, part story, part memory – a journey through the landscapes that live inside you.
