Artists, architects, graphic artists, cartoonists, designers and other creators can submit their proposals on how they imagine their city in the future!
On the occasion of her World Cities Day on October 31, 2022, o Municipality of Athens invites artists, architects, graphic artists, cartoonists, designers and other creators to submit their proposals on how they imagine their city in the future!
Cities are capacitors of the major social challenges facing Europe today. So how do we imagine the future will play out? In what ways can urban centers become more welcoming, sustainable and energy independent in an era of climate and environmental crisis as well as overpopulation? Can phenomena of social exclusion be tackled with spatial tools? What are the current possibilities and biggest challenges or limitations to the city experience for the local community?
The proposals – utopian, dystopian, hypothetical, descriptive, exploratory, provocative, critical and reflective – which will be selected by a committee set up by experts in the field of visual arts, graphic design and architecture, will be presented in the form of posters in an outdoor space, at the stands along the sidewalk of Vasilissa Olga. The report, which will be presented in October and November of this year, will act as an open archive, documenting discussions, exchanges and interventions in order to then produce a printed version.
Those interested are invited to send their works in JPG/TIFF format as well as their contact information to the email address: cityhallculture@cityofathens.gr by Sunday, September 18, 2022.
For more information and clarifications, those interested can call 2103722082.
All interested parties will receive a response regarding the progress of their proposal.
