15 - 18 novembre 2012, Roma
Si terrà a Roma il workshop “Self Made Urbanism - Peripheries of a Cosmopolitan City”, organizzato da NGBK (Neue Gesellschaft für Bildende Kunst) Berlin, in collaborazione con metroZones e SMU-research, col supporto del Goethe Institut Rom. “Via Casilina traverses the southeast of Rome from Porta Maggiore (right behind Termini Central Station) to the rural outskirts of the city and beyond. Its youth gangs, adjacent quarters and public housing schemes were a preferred location for Neorealist filmmaking; Pier Paolo Pasolini shot “Accatone” and “Mama Roma” here. Alongside the street different habitats line up: Remnants of shacks build beneath the antique aqueducts, Roma settlements that have forcibly been vacated recently and ample self build quarters. The exhibition Self Made Urbanism projects the urban axis of Via Casilina across the NGBK gallery space focussing on some of its nodal points but also extends and pursues its links to Europe and beyond to the Global South. In focusing on the periphery of Rome the exhibition looks at processes of “informality” as a laboratory of people’s initiatives, social struggles and political negotiations. Taking the example of Via Casilina we will debate the right to the city, processes of appropriation and the self-made formation of urban spaces”.
