ABOUT THE SEMINAR |
|
The University of Turku organizes international Street Life seminar that takes place on 20th and 21st of May 2011. The seminar is connected to Street Life project which belongs to the Capital of Culture programme of Turku. The seminar discusses street life and focuses on the questions regarding the uses of public space and the rights of various groups to urban spaces. In addition to the lectures and sessions, a part of the seminar will happen on the streets and in the city centre of Turku. Participants can take part in the parallel sessions by presenting their own academic papers, and also artistic projects and alternative presentations are welcome. The seminar is organized at the same time with the Eurocultured Street Festival. Cooperation with this event and local artists creates a unique opportunity to discuss the relationship between science and art in an urban environment. The keynote speakers of the seminar are Professor Tim Cresswell (University of London Royal Holloway), Distinguished Professor Don Mitchell (Syracuse University) and Professor emeritus Gunnar Olsson (Uppsala Universitet). The seminar is targeted for researchers and artists interested in the questions of urban spaces and/or relations between art and science.
