As part of the exhibition and symposium The Right to the City, we will be presenting a collection of realised and unrealised work that challenges the spatial politics of the City, namely Sydney, and use a bottom-up-approach to transforming urban spaces. We present artists, activists, planners and architects who are involved in “remaking” the city in more socially connected and sustainable ways, who use a do-it-yourself (or design-it-yourself) approach. The project presents an overview of the current urban condition - the concerns and issues that are bubbling away under the surface, and distinct from large-scale, commercial and spectacle-driven urban developments. Projects include micro-architectures, performative urban interventions, temporary installations and strategic design.
