International Network / UPon

UPon - Urban Practice from other nooks is a series of informal talks that reflects on urban practices from an inclusive, multilingual, context-bound and feminist perspective, connecting the network with practitioners around the world.

By extending Urbane Praxis e.V.´s network beyond European borders, we aim to connect urban practitioners working in different contexts in order to facilitate reciprocal learning and exchange.

Here you can find the edited transcripts of the talks:

UPon Talk #1 with OPAVIVARÁ! (Brazil): Pleasure as an activating force of public spaces.

UPon Talk # 2 UPon con LA ESCUELA___ (Latin America) y Colectiva Habitaria (Argentina): Pedagogías radicales para una ciudad abierta, colectiva y feminista

UPon Talk #3 UPon with Centro Rural de Arte (Argentina): Learning from the periphery.

UPon Talk #4 with Maïmouna Jallow (Kenya): Storytelling as a strategy to navigate urban contexts

UPon is conceptualised and organised by Valeria Schwarz (artist, curator, art mediator and mother) and Lorène Blanche Goesele (architect and artist).

This series of talks is supported by the Senate Department for Urban Development, Building and Housing as part of the expansion of the Netzwerkstelle Urbane Praxis, carried out by Urbane Praxis e.V.
