Lo scopo di ‘Community Mapping’ è avviare un processo di scambio fra competenze e di convergenza fra abitanti, dove sia la comunità stessa a riconoscere e mappare le proprie sapienze come risorsa culturale per la convivenza, la trasformazione del territorio e la città intera. ‘Community Mapping’ è composto da cicli laboratoriali, che utilizzano strumenti creativi differenti sia nel processo e sia nelle restituzioni pubbliche con lo scopo di realizzare una mappatura di comunità in divenire. Il primo ciclo di ‘Community Mapping’ si sviluppa tra maggio e dicembre 2013, con un laboratorio di mappatura audiovisiva del quartiere Giambellino-Lorenteggio. Tale laboratorio si propone di raccontare la polifonia interculturale del territorio, attraverso la composizione di percorsi audiovisivi e paesaggi sonori. Al termine del laboratorio, i partecipanti sono invitati ad elaborare un prodotto audiovisivo e sonoro fruibile ai cittadini e a presentarlo al territorio all’interno di un evento cittadino.

Museums and galleries should be using new technologies and media to teach, engage and immerse visitors in the art they are viewing, says Local Projects founder Jake Barton. Speaking at Wired 2012 about the future of cities, Barton explained how he was given the opportunity to help the Cleveland Museum of Art achieve this using touchscreens, live cameras and video, turning visitors into the curators of their own experience in the process.

This exhibition celebrates the diversity of a culture that has withstood the impact of colonisation for nearly two hundred years. It reveals a history of Victoria that has been hidden, even denied, for over 170 years. Koori Voices tells the stories of Aboriginal people since the arrival of the British in the 1830s. It also looks at the impact of colonisation and the way in which Aboriginal people have struggled to maintain their culture. Some stories speak of brutality, oppression and hardship. Other stories recall the struggles and joys of daily life.

For her first solo exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York–based artist Martha Rosler presents her work Meta-Monumental Garage Sale, a large-scale version of the classic American garage sale, in which Museum visitors can browse and buy second-hand goods organized, displayed, and sold by the artist. The installation fills MoMA’s Marron Atrium with strange and everyday objects donated by the artist, MoMA staff, and the general public, creating a lively space for exchange between Rosler and her customers as they haggle over prices.
