Desires of the City—A Workshop
On February 28, Jewyo Rhii leads a guided workshop on storytelling, beginning with a simple but radical question, What if we reimagined stories as cities—with public squares and hideaways, quiet back alleys and bustling main streets? “Cities are all about desires,” Rhii says. Through this workshop, she invites participants to explore how narrative absorbs the social, architectural, and emotional dimensions of urban life.
Using the architecture of Wing Theater as a jumping off point, workshop participants build a collective narrative. Starting from specific objects, participants share reflections, memories, and stories that reveal new ways of experiencing the city.
