Workshop for Those Who Want to Listen to the City – “WHISPERING WALLS” in Pula

WHAT: “Whispering Walls” – a workshop for listening to the city and exploring its multi-layered resourcefulness
FOR WHOM: Participants aged 8 to 13
WHERE: Pula Film Factory Club, Alfred Stiglich St. 12, 52100 Pula
WHEN: November 15-17, 2022 – from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM
WHO: Boris Bakal (Shadow Casters) & Igor Zenzerović (Pula Film Factory)

Igor Zenzerović is a performance artist and lecturer at numerous creative workshops for all ages and needs, with a special focus on youth. He is the founder of the multimedia and literary forum “Predvečer Poetike,” which has been running for four years. Igor currently works at the association ZUM, where he addresses youth issues and collaborates with them to find solutions.

We invite those who want to listen to the city to the interdisciplinary workshop Whispering Walls, where researchers and experts from various professions (dramaturgy, architecture, art history, journalism, sociology, film, etc.) teach participants how to observe space from multiple perspectives, explore the visible and invisible choreographies of space and the city they live in, and collect their audiovisual features. In this workshop, participants learn to observe the world around them and understand the city and its spaces as a shared resource for all citizens.

The aim of the workshop is to sniff out and record traces of the city’s material and immaterial urban heritage, uncover its historical and social dynamics and connotations, and connect them with concrete architectural and building heritage. Based on this, participants will design a micro hypertextual tour of a part of Pula and lead their parents, friends, and other interested fellow citizens on it.
