Curating the City 01 & 02 | 2019

Curating the City 01 & 02 | 2019

Curating the city is offered and facilitated by the Deccan Living Labs anchored in the multicultural city of Bidar. It opens a network of people who care about the past, present and future of their city & region, to collectively - think, conceptualise and respond (through making). For this studio we have identified five living labs with a core focus area, they are - Livelihoods & Overall wellbeing; Sensitive Ecologies; Syncretic Cultures and Practices; Narratives of Reforms; and, Social Entrepreneurship. Each of the living lab clusters comprises of micro-contexts that offers   We invite you to join us in exploring the process of curating, by which we mean, is to care for the place & the practices, to capture the everyday systems, to generate ways to creatively respond with cultural plurality in Bidar region. The overarching inquiry that will drive this studio is - how can art and design practices act as a catalyst and mediator to sense, shape and shift developmental paradigms?
