Workshops
The REIMAGINE workshop series brings together community, design, and artistic exploration to rethink how spaces can be transformed. Led by interior designer Kristiana Genca, these hands-on sessions invite participants to engage with their surroundings, experiment with materials, and envision new possibilities for interiors and urban environments.
​
Each workshop is unique, blending collage, pattern-making, spatial storytelling, and community engagement to foster creative dialogue.
​
Findings from the workshops have been collected in the REIMAGINE newspaper, serving as a platform for dialogue between local communities, stakeholders and local authorities.

REIMAGINE: Wandsworth After Dark
Commissioned by Wandsworth Council, the REIMAGINE: Wandsworth After Dark workshop brought together local residents and architecture enthusiasts to explore how neglected spaces in Wandsworth could be reimagined for nighttime use. Participants brainstormed ideas on how to activate underused areas and make them feel safer, more vibrant, and welcoming.

REIMAGINE: Pattern Dialogues
A collaboration between interior designer Kristiana Genca and photographer Lisa Laudieri, this intimate Friday evening workshop explored patterns and collage as tools for transforming interior spaces. With The Grand Budapest Hotel playing in the background, participants reimagined interiors from the film’s iconic set, collaging with prints from Lisa’s photography archive. Layering textures, colors, and compositions, they experimented with new ways of seeing and designing space. Tea, pastries, and a cozy atmosphere set the stage for a relaxed and creative session.
