Experience a book with Tomáš Staněk

During the lesson, participants will look at ordinary places through unusual eyes. They will try focused mapping of the area, search for details with their eyes and ears, and make their own and shared record of a Sunday morning at Vindyšova továrna, by the Radotín railway station and nearby. The programme may be adjusted for the weather.
