“your space or mine?”

So many things to do on Thursdays night how do you pack it all in? Try this before going to BPW for 7pm


Exhibition launch: Thursday 5th February 2009, 6pm

You are cordially invited to the opening of your space or mine? – an exhibition which asks...Do current urban renewal and development models offer hope of shared and integrated futures for interface communities?What role can interface communities have in determining their future development?What role do architects have in any of this?Funded by the European Union Peace 2.1 programme, through the Northern Ireland Community Relations Council, this exhibition has its roots in a request by an interface community group to place community interest first in proposals for a key river-front site close to the Brandywell/Fountain interface in Derry/Londonderry.

The resulting project involved Derry City Council, DSD, statutory and private development agents and included poetry sessions, art workshops, guerrilla gardening and temporary urban transformations in determining community ambition.While proposing creative ways to discover and release locked-in social, cultural and financial capital in contested spaces, project recommendations also direct these valuable resources towards sustainable and shared futures for interface communities.

Launch night, this Thursday 5th February from 6pm, in conjunction with Late Night Art.
The exhibition will be on show from Thursday 5th to Saturday 14th February 2009 at PLACE, 40 Fountain Street.
