Using Community Mapping as a methodology in their practice over the past 10 years, this workshop invites participants to pause and look closely at how space is shaped through everyday life, shared histories, and collective imagination as a way of listening, noticing, and sense making together. Through prompts, discussions, and a hands-on Community Mapping exercise, the workshop proposes Community Mapping as an ethical and creative starting point that focuses on collaboration, and imagination as foundations for sustained community-based art practice. With concrete examples practiced in Singapore, the workshop looks at process over product, emphasizing connection and curiosity constantly asking how artists might create with communities rather than for them, and how collective wisdom can open new possibilities for belonging, agency, and commons-making.
