Mutant city | Cidade mutante

Where do we learn to be together? What is the value of the bars, restaurants, local shops and community spaces? Do we dare to imagine a radically different future for our neighbourhood?

Where do we learn to be together? Where do we experience a sense of belonging? Where do we create culture? Where do we learn urban life? What is the value of the bars, restaurants, community spaces and local shops that are being erased or rewritten due to urban transformation? Do we dare to imagine a radically different future for our neighbourhood beyond simply contesting the changes?

Through the 'Window to the City' device, which enables us to draw 'on the city', along with other creative exercises, we engage different generations in the remembering and reimagining of their street and neighbourhood. These street interventions therefore become the community's counter-cartographies of real estate speculation and of its relation to the built environment.

These actions span multiple days and are carried out in collaboration with local struggles. Please check social media for specific dates, times and locations.
