iD Barri. Social creativity, collective action and artistic practices
International Seminar + projectual workshop. Calaf and Barcelona.

Social creativity, collective action and artistic practices are the themes to be debated in Calaf and Barcelona between the 6th of November and the 4th of December included in iD BARRI programme.

iD Barri is an IDENSITAT project that explores the idea of neighbourhood from an urban and extra-urban perspective starting with the relationship between social creativity, transformation of the environment and artistic practices. iD Barri consists of three interrelated parts: a seminar, a workshop, and a communication, visualisation and project information device. Developed between Calaf and Barcelona, iD Barri allows setting the subject of neighbourhood in the context of small and medium cities in rural areas (Calaf) and in relation to the urban area (Barcelona).

iD Barri through the seminar of Calaf and Barcelona proposes that art can be an innovative factor in the processes of urban and social transformation, since it is capable of bringing to the surface latent social creativity and developing it through collective actions. The seminars' participants are: Amasté Collective, JosepMaria Martín, Marta Ricart, LUL Collective, Traces of Autism Collective, Josep Puigpelat, Oriol Nel.lo, Frances Muñoz, Joan Caballol, Daniel G. Andujar, Judi Werthein, Francesca COmiso, Viviana Bravo, Basurama, Martin di Peco, Martí Peran, Gary W. McDonogh, Fadhila Mammar, Montserrat Santolino, Jose Luis Oyon, Manuel Delgado, Loïc Wacquant (participates with a text).
The workshops will be led by HoritzoTV (Calaf) and KUNSTrePUBLIK Collective (Barcelona)
