UNFOLD: OPEN CALL - PUBLIC SPACE LAB

Public space is more than just a physical environment—it is a stage for performance, a megaphone for ideas, a canvas for expression, and a meeting place that shifts perspectives. But how well are its creative potentials truly utilized? How can we activate it as a space for artistic expression, collective learning, and social interaction? How can we, in an innovative and visionary way, aligned with the needs of the community, create opportunities for audience development? We explore the potential of public spaces and the arts to open them up to diverse social groups. How can art in public space drive evolution—not just architecturally, but socially as well?

.
If you are an artist, researcher, lecturer, representative of an organization that engages with public space, or an individual with experience in the creative activation of public spaces—join us for a one-day interactive workshop on Friday, March 28, 2025, at Klara and Rosa (Petefi Šandora 15, Subotica).
