How can we use and make maps that reflect our relationship to place? Join architect and scholar Amanda Aman (American Institute of Architecture) for a hands-on workshop where we will make our own creative maps. Bring a map of a place you care about—or we will provide a map of campus for you to work from.
The workshop is free and open to everyone, and will meet in Room 107 in the School of Art & Design, 408 E. Peabody Drive, Champaign.
Hosted by Professor Kathryn Holliday (U of I Landscape Architecture).
Presented in conjunction with Another Place: Storymaking the Entangled Prairie, curated by Terri Weissman, and on view through July 2, at Krannert Art Museum.

She teaches at the College of Architecture, Planning & Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Arlington, where her courses and research explore how landscapes, histories, and cultural narratives shape the built environment.
