The Open City Project approaches City space through the social reality of the streets as a dynamic place of experimentation and vitality. The project sees the construction and installation of wooden structures with artworks, layered texts, photos, images, maps of evictions and resistances – present, historical and imagined. Poets aim to give a voice to those who are excluded and marginalised by the securitisation, privatisation and surveillance of City space, also highlighting the role of resistance and the creation of autonomous spaces.
