Walkability Between Past and Present: A Creative Mapping Workshop in Prague

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This workshop invited students and scholars from the fields of architecture and memory studies for an in-depth examination of walkability and slow memory within the historic center of Prague. Adopting the “Slow Memory” framework to Walkability research, we sought to understand concepts of “urgency, emergency, crisis, and acceleration by incorporating `multi-sited’, `eventless’, and `slow-moving’ phenomena, which necessitate a deceleration of research methodologies” (Wüstenberg, 2023). Valuing the essence of being present in times of uneven and accelerating change, as such, is deeply intertwined with how participants engage in practices of remembrance: unearthing and reclaiming forgotten memory pathways, which are unique to their individual experiences, collectively shared and spatially evoked. Over the course of four days, participants partook in a series of lectures, exploratory walks, and practical training sessions focused on movement, Slow Memory, digital (emotional) mapping and creative writing. They engaged in a comprehensive critical analysis of the embodied sensory experience of walking in urban spaces, with particular attention to historical traces, slow urban transformations and sudden changes’ effects, enriched by Prague’s extensive urban history. Through exercises in sensory awareness and writing, participants attuned to the temporal rhythms of their walks, taking time to observe the awakening of memories and the narration of forgotten narratives. By the end of the workshop, participants acquired first-hand experience in creative mapping, envisioning spatial correlations between memories and material surroundings, and documenting their temporal and spatial knowledge through narratives and maps. The outcomes contributed to developing Walking as a method in times of crises, as well as educational materials of Slow Memory COST Action (CA20105).
