BrillanteCit\u00e9-CivicBright, the third edition of Hexagram | CIAM\u2019s SYNCRETIC TRANSCODINGS international seminar series, will reflect on urban creativity. It is presented in association with the Lumi\u00e8res de la ville symposium, organized by the 5th Toronto\/Montreal\/Lille Biennial. <\/p>\n
The projects presented during the seminar focus on the force of urban citizens\u2019 creative actions, both aesthetic and political. The seminar\u2019s theme engages with the etymology of the word aesthetic, which signifies \u201csensibility, sensations\u201d, by which \u201caesthetic acts generate new modes of sensing and give rise to new forms of political subjectivity\u2026\u201d (Ranci\u00e8re, Le partage du sensible, La Fabrique, 2000 [our translation]). Thus, creativity generates multiple opportunities for renewed aesthetic configurations as acts of emancipation.<\/p>\n
The seminar discusses the \u201csensible\u201d links created between people, places, and technologies, bringing together participants from Vancouver, Montreal, Buenos Aires, while connecting with Juba and Berlin. Specific situations, combined with a wide range of technological resources, open up a new distribution of the sensible, linking citizens\u2019 creative media interventions and communities.<\/p>\n
