The Concept, Idea and or Dream of House/Home is a participatory project where we invite the public through art and community events to document and share their thoughts and ideas on HOUSE/HOME. We present some of the many hundreds of responses here below. We identify and map the issues that are of immediate concern to our urban communities, through talks, lectures and events.
The ultimate aim of the project is to create a sense-communicative platform, a space where we can value and share intuitively, each other’s dreams and desires in relation to House/Home, a very important part o living. These participatory actions have the possibility to contribute to a collaborative and participatory behaviour within our communities – one small step to an alternative governance.[1]
The responses and collective instructions are made available to everyone including the creators, designers and directors of our society. We would like this platform to be seen as and to be available as a method through art, to a possible future post neo-liberal, collaborative, participatory, commons oriented society.
