PROGRAM:
- intervention in the public space
PLACE: Durban (South Africa)
Beside artists and architects of various nationalities, in residence to Durban, the project came true in immersion in a particular site showing the spatial discriminations: The Walk
The Walk is an informal linear "public" space, which connects a township with the big market of the city center, Warwick Junction. A very alive place, located under the big highway infrastructures, not so far from the historic center of Durban. This link created by approximately 6000 people a day, goes along an urban highway.
This project takes strategically positions as a creative tool so that the civil society becomes aware of challenges facing society and stimulates creative processes on urban area. These initiatives focus on the willingness to clear fair spatial solutions, while developing alternative steps in bottom-up to better understand public spaces.
