Idensitat has been a co-organiser with • Dédale [Paris|FR] www.dedale.info, • Waag Society [Amsterdam|NL] www.waag.org, • Prostoroz [Ljubljana|SL] www.prostoroz.org, • Expeditio [Kotor|ME] www.expeditio.org, • Transforma [Torres Vedras|PT] www.transforma.org.pt, • Idensitat [Barcelona |ES] www.idensitat.net, • PACT [Paris|FR] www.pact.eu.com
For their part, Idensitat carried out the project Dispositifs-post during the years 2013 and 2014, a programme articulated in several phases in order to reflect upon, imagine, discuss and propose interventions and partnerships which could form a relationship between social space and creative practice. Approaches focused upon a future beyond the scenario conditioned by the decline and the tensions generated by the crisis.
The publication serves a dual purpose: on the one hand, it attempts to communicate and to reflect upon the processes and results of projects carried out as part of ECLECTIS; and on the other, to influence public policy at local and European level.
The objectives of the publication are:
● To share experiences with all partners involved in those processes which were started on the basis of projects.
● To strengthen the link between citizen action networks and cultural agents and institutions dealing with urban construction.
● To advocate for the active role of the above bodies in front of public policy makers at national and local level, as well as European.
● To advance new narratives at the European Union level, in order to help in promoting the role of the cultural industries within European policies.
The publication includes descriptions of the activities in each city, policy recommendations and a series of critical texts by authors such as Marie-Hélène Bacqué, Aidan Cerar, Diana Coelho, Barbara Holub, Maria Kalsta, Michiel de Lange, The mobile city, Rui Matoso, Pascal Nicolas-Le Strat, Paul Rajakovics, Recreantes Cruïlles, Cindy Regalado, Joan Subirats, Zala Velkavrh, Jeffrey Warren.
