“Cities as Community Spaces”

 

23rd-25th November 2016

 

Valletta, Malta

 

The Valletta 2018 Foundation, responsible for the implementation of the European Capital of Culture (ECoC) title in Valletta in 2018 will be holding its Third International Conference on Cultural Relations in Europe & the Mediterranean.

 

This conference, titled *Cities as Community Spaces*, seeks to explore the social dynamics through which space – public, private and virtual– within a city serves as a site of discourse, contestation, and critical reflection within and between communities with a particular reference to the Euro-Mediterranean context and Valletta as European Capital of Culture in 2018.

 

The conference is centred on five main thematic areas:

 

   1. Community Driven Spaces

   2. Community Contested Spaces

   3. Developing Creative Spaces

   4. City Space as an Empowerment Tool

   5. Online Community Spaces

 

The Valletta 2018 Foundation is inviting contributions from academics, researchers, artists and practitioners related to any of these themes. The range of papers may cover theoretical and methodological perspectives, practical examples and artistic interpretations of the issues and challenges faced in cities by communities.

 

Applicants are invited to submit a proposal (abstract) of not more than 250 words by no later than Friday 18th March 2016 to [log in to unmask].

 

More information, including the full call for papers document is available at the conference website (http://conference.valletta2018.org) or by contacting the Valletta 2018 Foundation at [log in to unmask]  or (+356) 2124 2018.
