Reflections on Wednesday's Workshop

SHoP Camp, which finished yesterday, was a multidisciplinary arts camp that happened at BOOK SHOP in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. SHoP Camp was organized by Laura Shaeffer; Laura invited me to co-teach with her at SHoP Camp on April 8th. The arts camp was entitled "Real Places, Imaginary Cities and Utopias," and the children and youth that came that workshop session explored a lot of arts making, while investigating creative mapmaking and other cool stuff.

Audio recordings of stories by some of the students who attended the workshop on April 8th can be found below. These are stories inspired by the maps of imaginary cities and lands that they illustrated.
