Parties prenantes 4 : Swimming Backwards

20th - 31th July 2010

The students from master ’Public Art and New Artistic Strategies’of the Bauhaus University in Weimar

This project aims at looking at neighbourhoods in transformation and asks what role artists can play in such processes of urban development. The students will explore the 13th district together, meet with inhabitants, organizations, employees, shopkeepers and students. These meetings will be the basis for the students to develop small, spontaneous, temporary interventions in public space. In doing this, the students temporarily intervene and take part in the „writing“ of this district and show their culturally-shaped perception of urban developments in this area of the city.
