We would like to invite you to join the talk by Larissa Fassler titled „From Walking to Drawing – Mapping Power, Memory, and Public Space through Artistic Practice“, on Friday, January 16th 2026, starting at 1 p.m. in Room 3.108 at the HCU.

"Larissa Fassler is a Canadian artist living and working in Berlin. She documents and interrogates the geo-spatial politics of city life through cartographic paintings and drawings and architectural sculptures. She creates visualizations of the observable and intangible characteristics of a city, and documents the complicated socio-economic and cultural issues affecting urban space today.

Using processes of mapping and counter-mapping, she employs her own subjective systems to survey public spaces by walking their length and breadth, recording her corporeal experiences and spending hundreds of hours collecting detailed observations onsite as well undertaking archival and online research.

In recent years her work has become increasingly political, charting growing economic disparity, political divisiveness, gender and racialized segregation and violence. While each of her chosen regions, cities, suburbs, public sites is unique, together they reveal a network of intersectional relations that cannot be contained by bureaucracies, borders, or nations."
