SPACEPILOTS at TINAG festival 2009


ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

The annual TINAG festival takes place over the course of 4 days [22, 23, 24, 25 October 2009].

The festival brings together people, living and working in Europe, who’s main preoccupation is the city. TINAG creates platforms for emerging academics, activists, human rights canvassers, artists, youth workers, filmmakers, architects, students and more, whose point of departure is the city.

“At the festival’s Soapboxes on the opening night Stephanie Brandt will share the results of her practice’s research workshops on public space as part of their Unlocking The City project.”

SOAPBOXES / OH, THAT’S INTERESTING!

One of London’s important soapbox sites was situated on the corner of Brick Lane and Old Montague Street. It used by Jewish communists to combat fascism in the 1930’s. ‘Oh, That’s Interesting!’ is a 21st Century re-interpretation of the soapbox tradition. Join 25 emerging urbanists as they reveal their questions, provocations and research. Programmed by Ben Campkin (Urban Laboratory, UCL).
