North to South: Space for Memories
A multidisciplinary project about narratives of urban spaces
North to South: Space for Memories was designed in spring 2009 as an experiment that aimed at exploring three spatial realities and the interaction between these spaces and their inhabitants, both in a contemporary and in a historical perspective. To this end, the project involved two different generations.
The project was implemented between June 2009 and February 2010 with the support of the European Cultural Foundation, the Amsterdam-based organisation that focuses on cultural cooperation as an instrument for European integration.
The project dealt with three main themes:
· Memories (stories, narratives) connected with a neighbourhood and its people;
· Transformations of urban spaces;
· Public participation processes related to urban areas.
