Programme
In Lisbon, Madrid, Toulouse, Turin and Berlin the current crisis manifests different facets from empty coffers and social polarisation to a lack of civic sense as a result of excessive growth.
Designers, artists, architects... These are examples of citizens from across southwest Europe taking the initiative to re-appropriate urban space. They are redefining the relation between value, profit and public good. And they are able to motivate fellow citizens to follow suit. Essentially, this project is a comparison between different local solutions to transnational issues. Which practices have worked well in a particular context? What led to their success? Can they be replicated elsewhere? How does the collaboration between private initiative and public bodies work out?
We-Traders is a platform of knowledge, production and exposition for the following initiatives:
MADRID - Campo de Cebada, Elii / Gabinete de Crisis de Ficciones Políticas, Teamlabs / Walkinn Coop, Todo por la Praxis, [VIC] Vivero de Iniciativas Ciudadanas.
