This Is Not A Gateway, an independent organisation that brings together critically engaged emerging urbanists, is seeking submissions for its 4th annual festival (23-25 September 2011, London). Proposals are welcome from anybody whose point of reference is the city. There is no fee to propose a project for the festival. Festival proposals must be critical and agitational; they must offer new propositions about cities. The festival offers a platform to discuss the politics and urgent questions at stake in cities. The festival is entirely participant lead. Previous festivals have included discussions, soapboxes, workshops, book & project launches, guided walks & tours, exhibitions and film screenings. Participants have come from the fields of urban regeneration, economics, government, visual art, psychiatry, archaeology, activism, medicine, journalism, literature, religion, technology, architecture, planning, environmental protection, law, property, theory, housing, film, psychology, finance, philosophy, engineering, human rights & social justice. Furthermore participants have included residents, newly arrived immigrants, youth-workers and local politicians. Read about the 2010 Festival here The knowledge generated at the festival is built upon and widely circulated in the annual book Critical Cities; Ideas, Knowledge and Agitation from Emerging Urbanists (Myrdle Court Press, London). This Is Not A Gateways role is that of a facilitator. It provides the infrastructure to enable participants to hold their own activities. Support includes securing venues, equipment, publicity, audiences and installation assistance. This Is Not A Gateway is not a funder. The festival is coordinated by Deepa Naik & Trenton Oldfield. 2011 FESTIVAL CALL YOU ARE INVITED WHEN: 23-25 September 2011 WHERE: Slade Research Centre, Woburn Square, London WC1 1st PROPOSAL DEADLINE: 05 May 2011 (early applications welcome) NOTIFICATIONS: 25 May 2011 FORMS: Online applications only.
