urban matters

Gathering, May 9–11, 2023
Location: PARKS – Alter Recyclinghof, Bullerdeich 6, 20537 Hamburg

ALLES IST SCHON DA: Drawing from case studies and concepts from Hamburg and beyond, we want to look at the expanded field of urban curating and its correspondence with performing arts, critical spatial practice, urban practice, organisational system thinking, community-based planning, and cultural planning, among others. At the intersection of eco-social practice and urban planning lies a radical, relational, queer-feminist approach to repairing and maintaining our cities. We wish to ask: how can urban curating serve to pull these practices together despite their differences, and highlight their shared values for civic political engagement in a way that has an impact on politics in the city?
