City Telling IJburg van 10 t/m 12 augustus

Participatory Urban Collage By Elke Krasny

Elke Krasny is van maandag 10 tot en met woensdag 12 augustus op IJburg. Bewoners van IJburg die geinteresseerd zijn om samen met haar samen te werken aan het project City Telling IJburg kunnen contact opnemen via info@blauwehuis.org of 06-3859 5379.

On my way: City Telling is walking and talking City Telling as in Story Telling Paths, routes, walks as memory lanes Paths, routes, walks to give voice to the place The meaning of places is realized by their inhabitants

I invite people who live on IJburg to share one of their daily ways with me and ask them to share their thoughts and impressions, their views and memories along the way with me. Paths and routes lead the way to the individual stories. Routes are routines, they seem to be the same, but we also notice all the little differences and changes that are part or the urban. Collecting these IJburg voices will produce a participatory urban collage. I will collect the ways that are given to me, the impressions, the stories, the images and will put them together to return them to the inhabitants of IJburg. City Telling collects individual narratives of everyday movements through one's city, through one's neighbourhood. What does a neighbourhood, the way its shaped and built, actually mean to the people who live there? How do the stories people tell about their impressions and their memories of places along the way store a profound knowledge about urban space? How can this knowledge become part of the place? So far, I have conducted City Telling projects in Vienna, Zagreb, Momiano, Graz, Waidhofen/Ybbs, Hong Kong, Los Angeles and as part of the Bellevue project in Linz.
