Rural–Urban Relations
Between 18 and 27 September, Trafó presents its next two-weekend transdisciplinary focus programme, Rural–Urban Relations. What realities, life situations, choices and possibilities do we face depending on where we live? Rather than pitting the rural against the urban, this focus places the emphasis on interdependence, mutual learning, and solidarity across differences.
Thinking about social change tends to be shaped mostly by urban perspectives. Through the work of local and international artists, we want to widen this familiar perspective by turning attention to rural experiences and points of view.
