Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.
Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities
A well-crafted city can be repaired, and a poorly crafted city can’t be…. I’m interested in this question of how can we build something that’s open enough that it’s adaptive or resilient, rather than something that completely serves a specified purpose? That’s my idea of the open city.
Richard Sennett, Building and Dwelling: Ethics for the City
Join us for a conversation focusing on who and what makes a city?
Cork city is facing a range of exciting, overlapping developments with nonetheless physical and infrastructural possibilities and pressures.
Whose interests and passions actually fuel and shape the current vision for the city? And how might we imagine – from the perspective of 2019 – Cork city in 2050?
This Learning Lab will take the form of a ‘think and do’ session bringing civic actors, artists, residents, planners, small business people, activists and researchers to think and work together.
Our aim is to collectively draft a creative ‘blueprint’ for the city, to be adapted and used as a stepping off point for further conversations.
Questions guiding and framing this conversation include (among others):
The Learning Lab on Art, Cultural Democracy and the City forms part of a two-day event with Create and partners Crawford Art Gallery (Cork), Counterpoints Arts (London), Cork City Arts Office and Heart of Glass (St Helens) in the context Create’s 2019 Networking Day for Collaborative Arts.
