Urbanbat, a research and mediation office in urban regeneration processes, is the new Azkuna Zentroa collective resident.
This urban observatory has been working for two years to propose a common reflection on how the context of multidimensional crisis (environmental, health, economic, social…) shows itself in a contemporary city.
Conceived as a portable infrastructure in the shape of a public square, Behatokia has established both at the Centre and other parts of the city to open spaces for debate on the role of art and culture in urban transformations and their innovation capacity. The purpose is to create new imaginaries and project other possible worlds.
The programme is complemented with an interactive arrangement aimed at citizens to collect and visualise data on this crisis scenario in the local environment.
This entire research process will be included in the project's final publication, which will be published by Azkuna Zentroa later this year.
