This project transformed Gon-up-sa, an experimental youth entrepreneurship space, into an open platform for exploring diverse ideas about the city through various creative approaches. To reimagine neglected urban spaces, the project invited art into the city—and the city into art.

At the heart of the project was a creative workshop with children. The participants explored their neighborhood through walks, engaging their five senses to perceive the city in new ways. Based on these experiences, they created maps using colors, shapes, and words. They also imagined and built models of public installations they wished to place in the areas they had walked through.

In addition, two different workshops were held to share diverse thoughts and perspectives on the city. Over the course of a month, the outcomes of the workshops gradually filled the space, culminating in a pop-up exhibition.
