For its 10th anniversary, AFIELD launches a public forum centered on artists as drivers of social change. Faced with an increasingly urgent and complex crisis, the field of art and culture is compelled to take more concrete actions for social and ecological justice. In line with its mission, AFIELD embarks on a three-year cycle of international meetings that aim to shed new light on the role of art in society.
In this context, CIVA hosts a conversation Participative Urban Design with Ola Hassanain, Bernardo Robles Hidalgo, Ana Vargas and Andrea Yarbrough, is moderated by Analida Galindo.
The speakers in this conversation have developed critical approaches to urban design, where participation becomes a practice of regenerating urban landscapes, reactivating forgotten areas, and reappropriating spaces transformed by urban development. They will discuss the ethics of participation and spatial tactics for more livable cities.
The AFIELD Forum is a project by AFIELD, co-produced by KANAL-Centre Pompidou, in association with CIVA & Établissements A. Dewitte & Filles. With the support of the Terra Foundation for American Art.
