What is Geography?

Patrik Entian, Site Specific Revisited: Prison Painting
Geography is a study in how spaces are produced. In this lecture, workshop participants were given a brief introduction to geography from a scientific and philosophical perspective. Students were provided with a quick survey of the different branches, areas of study and methodologies within the geographic discipline and were led through various definitions of ‘space’, drawn from the writings of David Harvey and Henri Lefevre.
