The project ‘Inessentials’, which is planned for the whole year, involving artists, designers and the local community in a series of meetings, screenings, discussion panels, performances and urban actions. Eminent artists will try to stimulate the need to alter our closest environment, which might in turn lead to a change in our way of thinking about space as a form which affects most of our behaviour. Our guest artists' actions and realisations are supposed to encourage the public to re-design the unwelcoming urban space, converting it into a place where it is possible to settle, create and maintain bonds with others.
