Just as a violently asserted claim to territory forms a fundamental condition for (violent) conflict, spaces can also be designed to create the conditions for overcoming such conflict. What kind of space of possibility is needed to enable conflict transformation? How can urban spaces foster critical discourse and lived practice among diverse actors?

The artist and consultant Maja Leo, whose background is in theatre and participatory artistic practices, and the urban researcher Tinatin Gurgenidze, co-initiator of the project Researching Common Territories, talk about how artistic, spatial, and social processes can interact to open spaces where difference is not seen as division but as a starting point for shared learning.

Maja Leo will be present at the discussion on site and Tinatin Gurgenidze will join online.

Spontaneous participation on site is possible at any time. Participation via Zoom is also possible with prior registration via this link.
