Dimension and impact of Urban Praxis
The relationship between impact and dimension in the field of urban praxis will be explored in an exchange between
Invited or self-commissioned, artists and urban practitioners are often called in at short notice when the problem situation in cities becomes too critical and conventional means are no longer effective. What are the prerequisites for the development of the potential of approaches that shape society from the artistic-urban praxis? Worldwide examples show how effective some projects can become.
ZKB* at Haus der Statistik invites actors of urban space to a one-day exchange, reflection and workshop. „…soll am Liebsten ALLES umgestalten und zwar SOFORT!“ Ansprüche an und Realitäten von Arbeitenden in Urbaner Praxis (“…would rather redesign EVERYTHING and do it IMMEDIATELY!” Demands and realities of workers in urban praxis) – in German only on Thursday, 23 September 2021 from 09:45 to 15:30 at Haus der Statistik.
In a joint exchange between actors of urban space (administration, initiatives, organisations, Urban Praxis campuses, praxis labs, funders, administration, theory, creative urban praxis), the relationship between impact and dimension in the field of urban practice will be discussed and deepened based on individual experiences. Two facilitated workshops will help both explore the dimensions of the different practices and raise awareness for their impact orientation and its relevance in the urban context.
In addition to reflection and in-depth analysis through different formats, the aim of the event is to get to know and introduce as well as reflect on one’s own self-image, to sensitise for impact orientation and its relevance. The day serves to broaden perspectives, to network and to invite more interdepartmental cooperation.
