How often do we truly notice the world around us? This workshop invites you to slow down, open your senses, and explore the city in a new way — through drawing, writing, and mindful observation.What you can expect:
During this 3-hour guided workshop, you will:
• Practice slowing down and being present in the heart of Nørrebro
• Train your ability to notice details, textures, shapes, colors and patterns in your surroundings.
• Explore playful creative exercises like ‘wordpainting’ (free writing from the senses), ‘texture explorations’, and a ‘sketch crawl’ in the surrounding neighborhood
• Share your experiences and create a small collective exhibition together at the end of the workshop
Why join?
• Experience the city with new eyes and renewed curiosity
• Strengthen and explore your creative practice — no matter your skill level
• Connect with others interested in creativity, mindfulness, and urban exploration
• Leave with a sense of calm, inspiration, and new ways of engaging with your everyday environment, perhaps even with a new friend you met during the workshop
Who is this for?
