How do we re-engage with a city when we let the senses guide us? This workshop invites participants to drift, pause, and re-engage with the everyday. More than image-making; photography paired with psychogeography transforms into a way of mapping atmospheres, of sketching invisible connections between space, body, and imagination. Workshop participants will wander through the familiar streets of Waterloo, collect, and reassemble these traces into shared cartographies—maps not of just streets, but also of emotions, encounters, and fleeting impressions.

In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the concept of the Dérive (drift) developed by French theorist Guy Debord. Around the Waterloo district near Objectifs, participants will explore and photograph their surroundings, capturing spontaneous encounters, scenes, and sensory engagement. The session will conclude with a group sharing, where participants reflect on their individual and collective experiences. Select photographs and reflections gathered during the workshop will be compiled into a collaborative zine. Each participant will receive a copy of the zine as a token of appreciation—available for collection at Objectifs or mailed to them after the workshop.

Mobile phone with camera. Participants can bring their preferred collage materials too if any.

All other materials will be provided for this workshop.
