Connecting Principle Event 09: The Shift
Thursday November 19th
Culture Lab, space 4/5

Community, Creativity and Sustainability: Three challenging terms with high currency that permeate our contemporary practices. The Connecting Principle event aims at unravelling, unveiling, revealing and maybe denouncing the ambiguities of these terms.

Who is the community? What is creativity? What is to be sustained? What might constitute a sustainable, creative community? What might be its remit, its agency and its practices?

Artists, architects, urban designers, planners, students, academics as well as the wider community and professionals of the built environment are invited to stir and shift conceptions and preconceptions of these terms and help raise new questions.
