In this talk, drawing and artmaking emerges as mode of empirical enquiry where the drawing itself is secondary to the act of drawing. Nora will be talking about sketching as research method, drawing on her experiences as a social anthropologist and as an architectural designer. What can the disciplines that she calls her home learn from each other? In this, she will take you on a joinery across media, from drawing Yangon General Hospital in Myanmar to an installation based on the same drawings to a current book project.

As an artist working majorly in the medium of drawing and painting; she shall share images of large scale drawing based works on paper and elaborate on the references in them, the process of making and the thematic implications that they may have as contemporaneous, layered narratives.
