Seven ways in
Strands
Most notes belong to two strands at once, because a mural is also an argument about a neighbourhood. Pick a thread and follow it.
Public Art
Murals, monuments, sculpture and temporary installations: art made for everyone who passes, and the people who commission, make and look after it.
Urban Culture
How cities live: neighbourhoods, walls, markets, nights and the everyday culture that grows in streets and squares.
Participation & Community
Art made with residents rather than for them: workshops, community projects, play streets and the practical side of taking part.
Architecture & Space
Squares, courtyards, stairs, benches and housing: the built frame of public life and the decisions behind it.
Festivals & Events
Biennials, street festivals, carnivals and light shows: events that borrow the city for a few days, and how they are put together.
Culture
Theatre, sound, museums, books and ideas around the arts, inside the city and a little beyond it.
Travel
Walks, weekends and routes for people who travel to see how other cities use their streets, their art and their history.
