The Art of Urban Intervention
The thematic of this project is a natural continuation of the ICA–Sofia activities in relation to the Visual Seminar project, organized between 2003 and 2006. It will be engaged with the issues of gentrification (visual and otherwise); in exploring the stages of the introduction of neo-capitalism and the construction of a new urban class of consumers through visual and other material markers in our city and society; in the shifting role of the artists and intellectual in the public debate; in exploring the urban specifics of the existence of (usually) invisible and underprivileged minorities.
With the support of the Culture Programme of the European Union.
