‘Guerilla talks: Occupy the city – the citizen as director’

For decades, the city has been a breeding ground for change and renovation. In 2015, the public space in the city is the setting of choice when it comes to innovation, creativity and resistance. Through guerrilla actions, artistic interventions and bottom-up schemes, citizens act to raise awareness and bring about transformation.

PROGRAMME:

What does a place look like where citizens and artists increasingly take on the role of director, with the authorities made to assume a facilitating role? Crosstalks presents a series of initiatives or projects aimed at transforming the city into a sustainable place.

BANG! Imaginative City Festival curated by Saskia De Coster

This event is part of the imaginative city festival BANG! Curated by Saskia De Coster. Due to the construction work currently being undertaken, KultuurKaffee has opted for a nomadic existence and, together with a guest curator, assembles twice a year a multidisciplinary programme of events at various locations dotted around the city of Brussels. Autumn 2015 sees author Saskia De Coster welcoming her festival guests at Bozar.
