Flâneur – New Urban Narratives is a network project created by Procur.arte and financed by UNESCO (International Fund for Promotion of Culture) and also by the European Commission (Creative Europe Cooperation Program).
About
Designed as an international partnership of some 20 organisations from 11 different countries, the project is based on a concept of artistic interventions within public spaces, through contemporary photography.
The Project encourages artists to create new interpretations of the urban terrain, taking the concept of flâneur as their starting point and considering the physical context of the city as a social construct in a state of constant flux and change.
Besides the art projects and interventions in the public space, the project is comprised of several other dimensions brought to light in various ways, such as workshops, masterclasses, artistic residences, creative camps and conferences – initiatives intended to foster a critical analysis of contemporary photography and contribute to a reflection on the relationship between art practices and the city.
