PRAGUE - SHAPING CITIES - CULBURB - CULTURAL ACUPUNCTURE FOR SUBURBS

A Praga per il primo simposio internazionale delle organizzazioni attive nel city shaping

Ho partecipato come speaker a questo interessante simposio e workshop, nel panel "periphery in focus" presentando l'esperienza napoletana di N.EST Napoliest e discutendo la dimensione delle pratiche, dal punto di vista dell'arte e dell'urbanistica, nella periferia napoletana.

Project Culburb activates the public realm in the suburbs of Central European capital cities through acupuncture interventions. Using minimal means these actions set up interaction between inhabitants and have an impact on the community life.

SHAPING CITIES Prague
Symposium of european initiatives operating in urban space

The symposium asks what the nonprofit organizations are today and questions their role in the creation of city space. Are they nonelected groups of interest promoting their own interpretation of public good? Or do they represent a litmus paper of the level of democracy in the society?Invited organizations transform the city space on different levels – from local to the whole-city projects, with a narrow or global point of view.
On the ground of this symposium a documentation of such organizations from whole Europe will take place. The creation of a unifying web database will enable to have an overview of the status quo, but mainly to have a mutual interconnection among the organizations with similar aims and sharing of their experiences.
