Topography of Memory is a one-week workshop focusing on writing, walking, and drawing in the landscape of central Tuscany. In this workshop participants explore personal and cultural histories by navigating the possibilities of line. This will include moving pencil across a piece of paper, inscribing text in a notebook, and walking lines in the landscape. No extensive drawing or writing experience is necessary. This workshop is ideal for anyone who is interested in spending time on an Italian agricultural estate while participating in generative exercises designed to map stories, draw surroundings, and find the threads that connect past to present.

Castello di Spannocchia is an organic agricultural estate just South of Siena, Italy committed to sustaining cultural landscapes for future generations.
