Over three days people from across Europe who are compelled by urban questions will participate in over forty activities. The festival is organised in the best DIY style by emerging practitioners represented from the many disciplines that shape our cities. Events include seminars, exhibitions, presentations, roundtable discussions, films and exhibitions.

Exhibitions:

Laura Braun, Dalston Polaroids

A series of images produced over the course of the summer in 2006 in Dalston. The traces of daily life, observed and recorded through a Polaroid camera speak of Braun's solitary encounters with an area of East London.

David San Millian Del Rio, Passerby

Black and white photographs produced over the last 6 years on the streets of London. Taken with a concealed toy camera, the collection of portraits show passerby's lost in their thoughts and images that reveal the city to be a place of random encounters and contemplation.

Gesche Wuerfel, Tristan Fennel, David Kendall, A Line Is There To Be Broken

Photographs that scrutinise struggles between transformations of 'place' and 'space', examining shifting social policies, economic initiatives and development, and humankind's relationship to a changing climate. The images are studies of disruptions in 'everyday life' and the landscape.

Workshops:
