The curator of our reSource project Tatiana Bazzichelli is participating in the Urban Knights event at Betahaus on the 5th of November. Urban Knights is a programme of events, which provokes and promotes practical approaches to urban change. Established in Dublin, this autumn the programme travelled to Berlin and is now happening here for the third time this autumn.

Urban Knights brings together people who are actively creating alternatives, which reflect or produce disruptions to our given city infrastructures, norms and perceptions. This time also the reSource transmedial culture berlin is participating in the discussion.

Acting as a platform for awareness, exchange and dissemination, Urban Knights, change agents and citizens present their civic interventions, projects and programmes.

Format of the events:

At each event speakers present and discuss their work for 10-mins, followed by questions and conversations with the audience.
