About this Event

The human body is remarkable in its ability to perceive the environment through a wide spectrum of senses. Smell, touch, and taste often have the strongest connections to memories, yet we almost exclusively document the environment through visual means. The power of these senses lies in their ability to evoke emotions and recollections, creating a deeper and more intimate connection with our surroundings. By engaging our full sensory palette, we unlock a richer, more immersive understanding of the world around us.

Join Adam Molinski and Yufan Gao, 2024-2025 Artists-in-Residence and landscape architecture faculty at the Boston Architectural College, for a guided, exploratory walk that uses a series of devices and exercises to intentionally defocus participants' familiar ways of seeing the landscape, bringing attention to more than just the visual aspects of the landscape experience.

To trace their experiences, feelings, conscious and subconscious thoughts, participants will leave marks of abstract drawings and words. Collectively, over the course of the next year, these drawings and words will form a multi-sensory, temporal map of Mount Auburn.


Check-in at Story Chapel

Capacity: 10 people per walk
