Mapping Rhythm is a mini-mentoring workshop through which we follow our everyday life patterns and rhythms and map out possibilities for activism to realise our creative projects within them. It also helps us to gain insight into understanding the physical, psychological, sensory and emotional states in the environments, practices and people in our daily lives. The MAPPING RHYTHM mini-mentoring workshop is made up of 3 parts in which we will use the tools of visual mapping to sprinkle positive resistance, to transform or to add new practices to your creative projects. As you emerge into mapping through drawing, collage or painting, you immerse yourself in practices to deepen the understanding of the relationships between your body, your environment and your practices. You will become more aware of the rhythms of your day to day life.

The art in which we compose our everyday life and the choices we make on a daily basis are a significant part of place-making our authentic personality within a context. More than often we have been influenced to think of the everyday as a routine, as something repetitive and commonly full of boredom and disappointment, where the accomplishment of a more meaningful time is placed, well, somewhere in the future. We continue our everyday life, frequently in survival mode, placing our hopes not in the everyday, but rather in - another day. Due to different circumstances, from very young, we start to learn to surrender our power to extract the fruitful landscape of possibilities for production, creativity and activism seeded into the everyday. For some reason, at the given moment, in the now and here it just doesn’t resonate.
