Recently, Laura Lamas Abraia pushed all workshop participants to think  about the possibility to conceive of the drawing as concept. I am not  sure how to get there yet, but when asked to include images in a recent  article on the sensory attunement to the city, I met once more the  challenge of how to do justice to my ethical impetus of wanting to  respect the privacy of my interlocutors and the wish to show with more  than words what happens on the streets of Rio de Janeiro.

Drawing as concept

From this resulted my first sketch of a street vending situation. Of course, it is far from a concept. But still, a beginning.


Let's see if it will find the light of the day in publishing.
