A-Place is announcing “A-Confined Place”, an interdisciplinary initiative, in the form of a repository that records, envisions and triggers actions and experiences about the sense of place during the period of confinement.
In these extraordinary circumstances, we are experiencing the spaces which we inhabit in a unique way. The current Covid-19 crisis may have temporarily limited our activities in physical space, yet our capacity to produce meaningful spaces, that is places, has not disappeared.
We invite you to reflect and share your experience in the confined places –using mixed techniques, including texts and storytelling, drawings, photomontages and photographs, audio-visual works and performances– along these two categories:
1. #ARediscoveredPlace
The experience of time and space in our everyday lives during the time of confinement. Expressions and visualisations of life under this new reality, as we re-invent our homes, our gardens, balconies, and rooftops into new places to host new activities; and rediscover the potential and aesthetic qualities of emptied streets, and public spaces.
2. #AReimaginedPlace
Newly discovered forms of place and community in physical and digital space at a time of social distancing. Actions and events that transform and/or reimagine spaces, cityscapes or communities, triggering a new sense of place and solidarity in communities.
