Event: Exposing Tarwewijk, Rotterdam Cohabitation Strategies - 03.12.2009 18:44
Next week the urban research group 'Cohabitation Strategies' will hold a two day public event on the problems surrounding the neoliberal development of neighbourhoods with a focus on Tarwewijk, Rotterdam. ‘The Other City: Exposing Tarwewijk’ is a project by ‘Cohabitation Strategies’, a Rotterdam based cooperative for socio-spatial development that focuses on conditions of conflict and exclusion within the contemporary city. During this three day event, a series of public workshops, excursions and presentations were prepared with the goal of discussing possibilities to design alternative cohabitation models, stimulate difference in socio-spatial relations and construct parallel local economies in Tarwewijk, a vulnerable and segregated neighborhood in the south of Rotterdam included in this year’s list of the 40 most ‘problematic’ neighborhoods of the Netherlands. This neighborhood is an exemplary urban case study that reflects the socio-spatial casualties of the Dutch neoliberal trend of urbanization. We kindly invite anyone interested to the following sessions: Wednesday 9 December 2009 12.00 Walking through Urban Fragments* A rapid passage for the recognition of the neighborhood fragments produced by segregated development. Atelier Tarwewijk 14.00 Moving in Free Zones #2 and Film ZUID* MFZ is an interdisciplinary workshop researching and creating awareness on the urban redevelopment of Charlois. This workshop worked on the production of the film ZUID which was used as a tool to engage with inhabitants, especially of Tarwewijk, and to trigger dreams, whishes and aspirations concerning their lives in the neighborhood. Atelier Tarwewijk Thursday 10 December 2009 10.00 Walking the Voids* A rapid passage for the recognition of the alarming empty housing and commercial stock in the neighborhood.
