“Embodied Cartographies" is an research project in Milan, Italy, exploring temporary and permanent residents' connection to the city 's urban landscape. Through a series of community laboratories, it investigates the relationship between individuals and their surroundings through somatic practices and urban sociology theories. The laboratories included a 40-minute silent collective walk, allowing participants to heighten their senses and awareness of how their bodies feel in different spaces around Milan. Drawing from research on the nervous system and trauma-based inquiry, the practices aim to cultivate a sense of "place-fullness"– a deep connection to the spaces we inhabit.
