Writing Urban History

Certain cities or parts of a city are lost in the layers of history and fade away from public memory. However, many of such long-forgotten urban conditions are important because within them they are a repository of certain collective culture and consciousness. In this writing workshop, we will write episodial histories of such cities while emphasizing key ideas or practices that defined them. The aim would be to create a narrative which can be quickly shared in the public domain. 

This workshop is a part of a year-long series of workshops conducted under the narrative of  CityLabs. During this workshop, the participants will be given daily theoretical inputs over video conferencing on key urban theories and will be exposed to techniques and mediums they can use to narrate the urban histories of the cities of their choice in the best way possible.

Who can participate

Young professionals, researchers, students, creatives, curious minds are welcome to apply.
