ABOUT THE PROJECT
Planning for Protest is a publication and exhibition about spaces of protest.
The ongoing financial crisis and other global events have recently inspired large-scale protests across the globe, re-igniting debate around the relationship between citizens and public space.
This exhibition asks twelve teams of architects and designers to respond to the crisis with proposals that address the conflictual motives behind spaces of protest in their own city.
WHO ARE WE
Ben Allen, James Bae and Ricardo Gomes of KWY (www.k-w-y.org), Shannon Harvey of Public Address (www.P-U-B-L-I-C.com) and Adam Michaels, Project Projects (www.projectprojects.com)
12 teams, 12 cities, 12 proposals:
Antonas Office (Athens), Studio Miessen (Berlin), studioBasar (Bucharest), Cluster (Cairo), Culturstruction (Dublin), Superpool (Istanbul), Ateliermob (Lisbon), public works with Isaac Marrero-Guillamón (London), Ecosistema Urbano (Madrid), Srdjan Jovanović Weiss / NAO (New York), PioveneFabi with 2/A + PA (Rome), and Vapor 324 (São Paulo).
WHAT YOU ARE HELPING FUND
We have been selected as an Associated Project of the 2013 Lisbon Architecture Triennale. In order to present the project in Lisbon, we need to raise 8,000 EUR.
Funding will support:
1) Exhibition — installation in Lisbon from Septemeber 12 through December 15, 2013.
2) Public Conversations — 3 conversations with participants and guests will provide a public forum to discuss the ideas presented.
3) Publication — designed by Project Projects, the publication is also a portable exhibition that grows to incorporate new material from every new city in which it is presented.
4) Website — featuring exhibition materials, transcipts of conversations, and ongoing updates on protest spaces around the globe.
THE PERKS
1) A copy of the publication/portable exhibition
2) A super-cool tote bag (perfect for carrying the publication)
3) Your very own set of miniature "Z-Blocks" by Srdjan Jovanović Weiss / NAO
All organizers and participants have donated 100% of their time and services to this project. If we don’t reach our goal, your funds will still support the exhibition and public conversations directly.
