#4 Childhood’s Memories


Chilean architect and artist Dr phil. Juan Almarza Anwandter will lead an interactive session on the topic of Memories and Identity, inviting you to partake in exploring the significance of childhood memories in shaping personal identity.

Participants will be asked to create a simple drawing of a meaningful childhood memory such as a place, an object, or a moment. The table will gradually transform into a mosaic, a collective collage of memories.

Dr phil. Juan Almarza Anwandter will then invite participants to share the stories behind their drawings.

This shared drawing session invites reflections on memory, identity, and belonging, as we consider how early experiences connected to place and time influence the way we understand ourselves and the world.
