The October conversation evening will tackle the theme of cities and urban districts as spaces propelling creativity in their inhabitants, inspiring and motivating them to bring new ideas to life while becoming active agents in their environment. Art in this light thus stands as engine of positive change and permanent improvement. Examples of related good practices will be displayed at the exhibition The City Speaks, held under the auspices of the 23rd Biennial of Design in the National Museum of Slovenia. Guided tour of The City Speaks exhibition will be held on Monday, 15th October at 5 p.m. by artist Raheel Mohammed. The tour will be followed by a thematic conversation in Stara mestna elektrarna – Elektro Ljubljana.

Aidan Cerar, host of the conversation, will speak to Raheel Mohammed and Graham Sheffield, Director Arts for the British Council, and to many other local experts from the areas of urbanism, sociology of space and artistic practices…

The conversation will last approximately 90 minutes and will be held in English language.

It will be followed by snacks, drinks and music.
