Spazju Kreattiv is hosting ‘Rhythms of the City: A Public Debate’ tomorrow.
The debate draws from Marxist philospher Henry Lefebvre’s provocations in the essay ‘Attempts at the Rhythmanalysis of Mediterranean Cities’. In the analysis of rhythms – both biological and social – Lefebvre shows the interrelation of space and time in the understanding of everyday life.
The debate will start with three main provocations and proceed with reactions from a number of professionals/experts in the fields of interculturalism, multilinguism, cultural festivals and cities – all within the context of the Mediterranean Dimension project.
Mario Frendo will be moderator, while Paul Clough, Immanuel Mifsud and George Vital Zammit will be provocateurs.
The Mediterranean Dimension is an ARC Research & Consultancy project supported by the Arts Council Malta and the Valletta 2018 – European Capital of Culture Multi-Annual Support Grant (Malta Arts Fund), in collaboration with Medinea, Festival d’Aix-en Provence, Spazju Kreattiv, the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra, A Soul for Europe, Centre for Research in Culture and Performance at the School of Performing Arts – University of Malta and Malta Society of Arts.
The event is taking place tomorrow from 10.30am to 12.30pm at St James Cavalier in Valletta. The event is free and open on a first-come, first-served basis.
