Participants who visit the Samih Rifat: “Much Is to Be Done” exhibition are inspired by Samih Rifat's notebooks, notes, drawings and photographs, and the personal and poetic ways of relating to the city. In this workshop, which explores the link between observation and memory, participants design personal memory notebooks in which they interpret their urban experiences through written and visual expressions.
Details encountered in the city, small moments that would not escape the attention of a flaneur, and triggers of remembrance come together in the participants' notebooks. The notebooks that emerge from the workshop reflect both individual memory and collective perception of the city. After the workshop, these notebooks continue to be enriched with new observations and memories with every step taken in the city.
