Round Table “Participatory Cities” on ISIS conference “Play / Perform / Participate” by Nanna Verhoeff and Ginette Verstraete

Susa Pop (Public Art Lab, Berlin; Connecting Cities), Eugene van Erven (Sharing Arts Lab, Utrecht University) and Karen Lancel (Studio Lancel/ Maat, TU Delft) presented their projects that in different ways stage and design participatory engagement in urban, public spaces. In the discussion with the audience we addressed questions about the curation of participatory platforms in urban space, about the critical potential and ideals for change within urban spaces, and about the sustainability of these ambitions.
