SKOPJE CREATIVE HUB 2014 - new content in public space

29. August - 7. September 2014

 

SKOPJE CREATIVE HUB (SCH2014) is an initiative for activating public space through workshops, public discussions and parallel program. Five workshop groups are led by pairs of local and international young creative professionals, each consisted of 10-15 international, cross-disciplinary group of students. The students, together with the tutors will design, test and build urban interventions. For the discussions we invited thinkers, activists and theorists who will address relevant urban issues and provide a critical discourse that is of benefit to both the workshop groups and the citizens of Skopje. Local citizen initiatives, individuals and institutions will complete the parallel program with a series of performances, one day actions, theater plays and exhibitions that will create a highly visible and dynamic atmosphere. SCH2014 as an active public space in itself! All results will be published in an interactive-web-platform and a book that will create a database for further collaborations.

CITY CREATIVE NETWORK (CCN, Skopje) is an international network of young professionals from various creative disciplines based in Skopje. Our work is defined by cross- disciplinary, critical and innovative approach to urbanity. We develop strategic concepts and conduct research for activating and development of public space. As both practice based and educational network, CCN connects authorities, planners, architects, entrepreneurs and citizens for a more sustainable, strategic and balanced urban development. CCN is intended to grow into an idea-generating and educational center with a shared database, a reservoir of fresh design proposals and relevant knowledge for alternative use of public space. CCN connects to the most groundbreaking creative tendencies currently existing in Skopje and expands their field of action. It is a network that acts on local level but also addresses general problems in urban space on regional and European level. CCN is a place where young professionals meet>collaborate>create>act.
