This article is a reflexive review of autotopography as a methodology of vulnerability in artistic research. Developed within the project ‘DRAWinU - Drawing Across University Borders’, the workshop explores drawing as a methodology for vulnerable research in a close relationship with writing, situated dialogue and performance. Drawing is carried out as a practice of memory and restored behaviour based on the remembered experience of a place and its points of contact with collective memory. The map of relationships constructed by each participant can be understood as an end in itself or as a score for performative unfoldings.
