In Situ/ City: Utrecht - Life of the City 2021

Описание: The “In-Situ/City” activity is aimed at putting young artists squarely in the middle of various European social contexts and creating closer relationships with European citizens. The city – with all that it implies from a historical, cultural, political and social perspective – is the focal point of these activities.

A project implemented by Gaudeamus (NL), in collaboration with the collective BUI.

Cities are constantly in motion and are developing rather quickly, so is Utrecht.

At the moment there are rigorous plans to rebuild the Cartesius area at the edge of the city. Some industrial plants, used as creative hotspots, will be lost, while it will also create space for much-needed living neighbourhoods. Either way, this neighbourhood has its own character and its own facilities and structures that create a certain way of living. As an organism that is constantly growing and developing this unique part of the city puts its stamp on Utrecht. With In Situ City we shine a light on the agency of this neighbourhood. Together with the collective BUI, we develop site-specific works that show how this part of the city is actively shaping the daily lives of its inhabitants and visitors.

This project was implemented in the framework of the ULYSSES Network,
Co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union
