Urban Renewal

This project is a series of events - workshops, discussions, researches and reflections - about urban transformations and changes, such as local/Foreigner; Connected/Disconnected; Where do we stand?/Where do we go? Over a period of 10 months these are developed and presented to wider audience in the framework of the contemporary art festival Survival kit 3 (Latvia) in September 2012 and as an exhibition in Mersin, Turkey. We are interested in linking social and political themes with art and to discuss and work with them in those frameworks; based on the topic of urban changes.
