Visual Spaces of Change
Visual Spaces of Change proposes a visual communication strategy based on the development of contemporary photography projects that reflect on the different dynamics of urban change to open up new horizons for public intervention in the public space. These projects are conceived as “visual narratives” of these dynamics, intentionally interfering with the metropolitan territory in a self-reflective representation of its own process of change, reducing the distance between the objects of investigation (landscapes, places, public and collective spaces) and the their representations.
Collaborative structure
Visual Spaces of Change brings together a diverse set of institutions and researchers, architects, curators, photographers and authors of visual arts, in an exercise of joint reflexivity around common concerns related to the transformation of the territory, the public space and the environment. The active collaboration of this wide network of institutional actors aims to increase their capacity to intervene in their social reality through concerted actions.
