URBANACCIÓN
Date: From 18/03/2009 to 28/06/2009

Madrid, Spain
Urban lots and site interventions are neither new nor strictly original. They range from the Green Guerrillas in New York, when the financial crisis brought down many of the buildings in Manhattan, to Aldo Van Eyck’s interventions in Amsterdam, after the destruction of half of the city as a result of World War II bombings. The object of this installation is to highlight the capacity of a collective to carry out these actions in an urban setting with the sole aim of improving the wellbeing and enjoyment of the community in question.

“BAMAKO VII. African Photography Meetings”
Date: From 25/02/2009 to 01/06/2009
Place:
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
This time round, the Meetings focus on the fragility of the city and urban life, networks of relations between individuals and social groups, half-built constructions and the uncertainty of the people who live in them, along with the staying power, everyday struggles and defiant attitudes of young people and their creativity. The exhibition uses its images to showcase the search for a kind of urbanness that has yet to be defined, which is mutating, permanently under construction and reconstruction—the definition of any living city. Fouad Maazouz, winner of the “Different Viewpoints 2007” competition organized by RehabiMed, is one of the photographers taking part.
