Rebranding cities. Recovering Cities Self-Esteem.
A big rebranding project that starts as an art action. It's just a simple idea, a task force, a big event, an independent experience, with one main objective, rebuild the self-image of an abandoned city or neighborhood.
"In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect
decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art
must show the world as changeable. And help to change it."
— Ernst Fischer
Using the available social resources to connect and mobilize a solidary and collective labor, a cooperative work between friends and neighbors to create a gigantic Installation project. A huge experimental laboratory where the abandoned city is the blank canvas.
If we imagine that cities are like people, as a living entity, the way that the city reflects and mimics the human idiosyncrasy, why not treat them as a macroscopic version of a human and use all the available tools to recover a city's self-esteem?
Call to action:
Reviving cities through self-esteem.
