In a discussion broadcasted from Kaunas – European Capital of Culture 2022 office\, on July 14th\, cities will share current issues and COVID-19 inspired emergency design practices and experiences that inspire people around the world. \nWe face design at every step without even thinking about it: at home\, at work\, in public spaces. Fused\, they create and shape our perception of what the city and city life should look like. Form and content affect everything: economics\, politics\, and culture. The experience of quarantine with endless limitations has provoked the need for urgent and creative solutions that not only help us to adapt to this new reality\, but feel healthier and happier. In virtuality\, connectivity with the community\, no matter its size\, has become an essential criterion in design: in a world struck by a pandemic\, we must reconsider our priorities. What is the significance and function of design today? How does a discipline often associated with luxury\, style\, or beauty help communities of the world to deal with today‘s challenges\, adapt to changed conditions\, and ensure the safety and connections between people? What is the role of design and designers in “rebooting” the world? \nDuring the virtual session\, creators and designers will present the most inspiring emergency design solutions from different cities around the world\, and UNESCO’s Creative Cities of Design coordinators and initiators will discuss the role of design in restoring the world. “We aim to discover the resilient mindset of the design cities and learn how we each tackle Covid-19 around the world. This will be a great inspiration and learning session\,” says Stijn Debaillie\, Deputy Coordinator of the UNESCO Creative Cities of Design subnetwork. \nThe international session will present a variety of design solutions in different cities around the world\, from protective masks and hoods\, graphic design solutions to aged care visitor pods and ways to mobilize the architectural community to address new urban challenges. \n\nThe discussion “The Power of Design in Response to the Global Crisis and Rebooting the World” on the Zoom platform will be broadcasted live from Kaunas on: \nTuesday\, July 14\, at 2 p.m. Local Time (2:00 PM EEST (Eastern European Summer Time)) \n Format: Zoom \n Organizers: UNESCO Creative Cities of Design & Kaunas 2022 URL:https://designcities.net/events/rebooting-the-world-a-unesco-creative-cities-debate-on-the-role-of-design/ CATEGORIES:Conference ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://designcities.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/SUBNETWORKMEETING_DCN.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200709 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20201027 DTSTAMP:20260618T040209 CREATED:20200414T151339Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201103T085033Z UID:6908-1594252800-1603756799@designcities.net SUMMARY:Contrei Live: art runs thicker than water DESCRIPTION:Regional developer Leiedal\, partner of Designregio Kortrijk\, sets the stage for Contrei Live\, an arts trail on and off the water in the 13 cities and communities of South West Flanders. From 9 July to 26 October\, sixteen national and international artists\, architects and designers invite people on a meandering trail of artistic discovery throughout the region\, to reflect on water in a landscape theatre and to engage into dialogue on the importance of water as an ever more precious commodity. \n  \n\n211 entries\n13 communities\n16 artistic interventions\n3 bicycle loops\, \n100.000 visitors\n\n  \nIn February of 2019\, Leiedal made an open call to artists and designers all around\, suggesting a number of outstanding places with a clear link to water. Through Kortrijk Design Region\, the city of Kortrijk has been part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network since 2017\, which accordingly contributed to no less than 211 entries from artists and designers from over 35 countries worldwide. A panel of experts selected a number of them for Leiedal to check their practical\, logistic and financial viability. As a result\, at least one work of art will be shown in each of the 13 Leiedal communities. The grand total of 16 artistic interventions makes up an intriguing mix of land art\, landscape architecture\, sound art and kinetic installations. The interventions are tailored to the specifications of their particular site in the landscape or public space\, fortifying the aquatic acquaintance with the story of water. \n  \nContrei Live also provides wind at the back for bicycle tourism in South West Flanders\, with partners Toerisme Leiestreek and Westtoer helping to open up the arts trail by putting together three bicycle loops. Leiedal would like to motivate communities and other partners to orchestrate events\, lectures and guided visits as a side stage to the interventions. Leiedal aims to tempt up to 100\,000 visitors to come and admire the works of top artists like Zeli Bauwens\, Hans Peter Kuhn\, Matthijs la Roi\, Landlab\, Kevin Trappeniers\, Michel Desvigne\, Omgeving\, Esther Kokmeijer\, Niels Albers\, Willem Boel\, Jan Detavernier\, Patrick Ceyssens\, Rick Abelen\, Zilvinas Stasiulevicius\, Marco Barotti and Adrien Tirtiaux. \n  \nAll locals and visitors near and far are invited to tap into Contrei Live and be marvelled and carried by the region with water guiding the way. A user-friendly mobile website\, a free cycling card and (payable) visitors’ guide will pilot you along three cycling loops boasting some delightful deviations and stimulating stops. Students at Howest Digital Arts and Entertainment\, meanwhile\, have rendered Contrei Live in a game that can be played online. Educational packages will be made for schools. Contrei connects and invites young and old to come and discover their own country. \n  \nEn route with various partners\nAs for the organisation and realisation of the arts trail\, Leiedal can rely on the joint support of various and complementary partners. Some interventions are co-financed by Europe through the Interreg project DESIGN’IN supporting design methods for public space. Lining up with Kortrijk Design Region\, we can go all in for creativity and international appeal. On a supra-local level\, Contrei Live can look to considerable back-up\, both logistically and financially\, by De Vlaamse Waterweg (Flemish waterways). The Province of West Flanders is also on board and provides a strong added value in the field of recreational tourism know-how. The 13 local authorities will be backing the projects chiefly in logistics and communications. Leiedal’s sister organisation zuidwest will be supporting cultural initiatives. True to its strong affinity with arts\, Belgian bank Belfius did not hesitate to sponsor Contrei Live. \n  \n  URL:https://designcities.net/events/contrei-live-art-runs-thicker-than-water/ CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://designcities.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Timeless-Waves-Zilvinas-Stasiulevicius-LT-©leiedal.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Vienna:20200604T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Vienna:20200604T190000 DTSTAMP:20260618T040209 CREATED:20200603T115626Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200806T072752Z UID:7207-1591290000-1591297200@designcities.net SUMMARY:Book presentation „Designing Sustainable Cities“ // ONLINE DESCRIPTION:We like to invite you to the book presentation of the newly published book “Designing Sustainable Cities”\, on June 4\, 17.00. \nTaking into account that urban design can make a significant contribution to positive changes in environmental and social matters\, the book presents seven inspirational examples for copying; included are analyses and measures for the cities of Detroit\, Graz\, Istanbul\, Mexico City\, and Puebla\, as well as non-location bound projects. \nThe presentation takes place via zoom.us with the two editors Sigrid Bürstmayr and Karl Stocker. David Marold from Birkhauser Verlag will also take part in the presentation. \n  \nBook presentation “Designing Sustainable Cities” \nJune 4\, 2020 | 17.00 \nZoom-Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/2053591864\nMeeting-ID: 205 359 1864 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  URL:https://designcities.net/events/book-presentation-designing-sustainable-cities-online/ CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://designcities.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/9783035622034.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200520 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200523 DTSTAMP:20260618T040209 CREATED:20200306T131305Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200909T073855Z UID:6828-1589932800-1590191999@designcities.net SUMMARY:VIRTUAL EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF CULTURE FORUM 2020 / CULTURE IN THE TIME OF CORONA DESCRIPTION:Culture in the Time of Corona \nWhen confronted with any crisis\, the vital importance of culture and arts is revealed. Against the backdrop of the tragic economic and social catastrophe\, we are witnessing the resilience and ability of the creative sector to adapt quickly. We have seen the world’s most powerful cultural institutions fall and the creators lose their jobs overnight. This did not prevent the emergence of numerous art projects uniting the international community\, which inspired a spark of optimism and a sense of communion for those isolated at home. We have seen the value of digitisation of art and cultural treasures (this trend was given high priority in cultural policy in recent years)\, when the attendance of websites of cultural institutions has instantly increased hundreds of times. The pandemic which made the world stop has inspired cultural creators to look again at their mission\, to create alternative strategies of action\, educational and dissemination tools that have helped those isolated at home gather together for common discotheques and have brought culture directly to the courtyards of the quiet audience standing behind the apartment windows. \nWhat’s next? \nIt is predicted that the cultural sector\, the habits of our participation in culture and our social life will inevitably change\, but will it really happen and how? How can cultural and artistic creators prepare for the challenges of the future? What skills and innovations could be used to do so? How can international cultural cooperation be preserved when the European Union suffers from fragmentation caused by political battles? \nForum goes online \nThe organisers of Kaunas – European Capital of Culture 2022 transfer the annual forum of the European Capital of Culture to the virtual space and\, together with the Creative Europe Desk in Lithuania\, initiate a discussion bringing together European artists\, cultural creators\, private and public sectors\, aimed at exchanging views on cultural innovations and the future. \nProgramme \nMay 20\n15:00 (EEST) The Role of Culture Defeating the Crisis \nToday the future of many cultural creators is being jeopardised\, yet progressive examples of cultural actions and adaptation provide hope that we are capable of getting over this critical time\, also becoming stronger and more resilient. This session is about the experiences of the cultural sector developed in a critical situation and the opportunities that have emerged. What is the real significance of culture in an emergency situation – is it a high-priority public interest and why? What insights on culture were triggered by the confrontation with the present crisis? How do European cultural creators and organisers experience quarantine and its consequences? \nMay 21 \nFinancing culture in the economy of uncertainty In the previous years\, the Culture Supporters’ Forum discussed the practical ways and sources of funding. We did communication and financing according to the well-established models of operation\, the improvement of which worked consistently\, with a light rhythm. Since 2019\, cultural organisations in the entire world found themselves living in uncertainty\, which\, after the closure of airlines and tourism services\, has gradually touched the internationalness of culture and its public funding strategies in the global programmes and funds. \nCan cultural organisations already see opportunities for forming a new face of the services provided by the Lithuanian cultural organisations? \nFrom the middle of March in Lithuania and even earlier in Europe\, all sponsors of culture – be they programmes or funds representing the public programmes\, had to review their ways of action\, their priorities\, rules of project administration\, and even the future. \n10:00 (EEST) Culture in the measures of management of the economic crisis // This session will run in Lithuanian. \nTo what extent will the global economic and social crisis become an opportunity? How have Lithuania’s key funding institutions adapted to the new environment? What concrete measures have been taken and how does this affect the normal financing model and context? These questions will be elaborated in the morning session on May 21 together with the representatives of the Lithuanian Council for Culture\, Invega\, as well as Lithuanian municipalities. \n15:00 (EEST) Local or international? Shifting priorities in public funding for culture \nDuring the session\, we will learn about the practice and opportunities offered by the special European Cultural Foundation\, the perspectives of the Creative Europe programme\, and what issues and choices are being considered by international mobility programmes – the Nordic Culture Point\, ASEF\, etc.? Generally speaking\, how are we supposed to deal with and what can we expect from the internationalness of culture? \n22 May  \n15:00 (EEST) Culture in the Post-Pandemic Future. Retooling \nIn times when it is hard to think about anything else but the crisis\, let us focus on the future. Life has changed. Everything is changing. Most agree – nothing will be the same as before. Or will it? What changes will last? What will the post-pandemic world look like? What is and will be the New Normal? Artists have always been the super sensitive predictors of worlds of the future\, envisioning new realities\, spaces\, and cosmoses which traverse the past\, the present and the future – the omnivirtual\, the post-apocalyptic\, the surreal… Or is it all real? \nWhat is next? Textile factories are making masks\, automobile plants are producing respirators\, perfumeries are making disinfectants. Will we all need to adopt new models to survive? What are the possible retooling scenarios for arts and culture? \n\nSponsors: Kaunas City Municipality\, Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania\, Kaunas District Municipality \nOrganiser: Kaunas 2022 \nCo-organisers: Creative Europe Desk Lithuania\, Lithuanian Culture Institute \n  \nFurther Information \n–> here\nwww.forumas.kaunas2022.eu \n  \nContact details\nMarija Pulokaitė\nmarija@kaunas2022.eu\n \n  \n\n \n \n \n \n © Andrius Aleksandravicius\n \n \n \n \n \n © Andrius Aleksandravicius\n \n \n \n \n \n © Andrius Aleksandravicius\n \n \n\n  \n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou are currently viewing a placeholder content from YouTube.
