Great opportunity for summer 2019! Monthly urbanism residency WE ARE NEVER ALONE in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine looking for participants (*open-call ends on 21st of April*).
WE ARE NEVER ALONE is space of possibilities for *10 practitioners* – activists, urbanists, cultural workers, artists, architects, researchers, writers, theorists, performers, scientists, among others – from Ukraine and abroad, to gather for one month and develop, reflect, criticise, experiment, and suggest new forms of urban participatory practices. The rise of ‘socially-driven’ practices which focus on ‘social-sculpting’, ‘participation’ and ‘community engagement’, particularly in the realm of urbanism, has led to the rise of general awareness of the transformative qualities that art practice can have as a tool for creating kinship, but also its pitfalls. Do not forget about the importance of citizens participation in the city development processes, and with this residency, we want to ask our own practice under question mark to understand what can be the tools for participatory practices without falling in stereotyped discourses, whilst understanding the multi-dimensionality of the context(s)?
