Alex invited the research group to experience a series of playful experimental explorations. Guided by Alex, the group had the opportunity to envisage our favourite places, feel these in our bodies and then write them down. Alex challenged us to map our place using the five senses, first on their own and then in combination with a series of writing prompts. We talked about the possibilities of harnessing the senses in our work with participants, and creating sensory itineraries rather than maps (drawing on the work of Tim Ingold).
