Living Better Together conference concludes the Spatial Practices in Art and ArChitecture for Empathetic EXchange (SPACEX) project; a cross-continental and cross-disciplinary effort bringing together academics and cultural organisations to build stronger networks and maximise the ways in which art, architecture and design promote empathetic ways of living together.
Day one consists of the following panels:
Publishing in the Counterpublic Sphere interrogates how spatial practice of art, design, film and architecture can create counterpublic spheres where participants mobilise collective discourses of imagination, care and resistance to resist neoliberal and authoritarian rationales.
Walking as Resistance examines the role of walking practices as critical spatial practices that can address social, geopolitical and environmental issues, support spatial justice, engage in multi-sensory experiences of the everyday, and amplify unheard stories.
Spaces of Knowledge examines the role of urban walking as a methodological approach to foster social change and policy development.
PhD Experiences shares the experiences of being PhD students within the SpaceX consortium and how the secondment process informed and supported our research.
