Mapping Kos was a experiential walking and drawing workshop in collaboration with Kos Solidarity and the community center of Mandilara 32. The workshop met for 3 months every Tuesday where local, migrant, expat, refugee participants walked through the city they live in documenting what they find interesting in it. The point was to experience the place we inhabit and get to know it better, direct and place ourselves within it by being creative. We would walk and sketch through different parts of the city documenting important landmarks as reference points but also other localities like parks, grocery stores, shops. We encouraged them to write down street names and signs as to practise language. We then all gathered in the Community Center Mandilara 32 where we tried to put what we drew that day in a collective map. The workshop had many volunteers throughout the weeks including friends, parents, seasonal workers, colleagues, and it would have been impossible to do it without their support.
