START | Wethecity

Who are we, the city? Can we find the elements of an egalitarian democratic imaginary and a non-hegemonic conception of ‘we’ by thinking the instances of resistance in Berlin and Istanbul together?

How do residents of Berlin and Istanbul experience, express  and resist the physical, political and normative reordering of their cities? Over the course of three days, we invite practitioners and theorists of the urban –  activists, cultural producers and  scholars alike – to explore various forms of knowledge-production  through moderated talks, panels  and installations.
