Two meetings to review and discuss the writings of Martha Rosler, coordinated by Valeria Gruschetsky and Ana Gomez Pintusa, in the context of the exhibition "Puede que esta vez sea diferente", for which a free public reference library with feminist content was created.
Based on some key concepts from Martha Rosler's book "Clase Cultural. Arte y gentrificación", Caja Negra Editora, 2017, will review the problems posed by the author around what is urban, how it is constructed in relation to art and politics; concepts such as "gentrification" will be discussed in order to think about the spaces of our city - Buenos Aires - having as a central axis her critical view on some ideas that Richard Florida proposes as "urban marketing".
Registration: Muntrefcaceducacion@untref.edu.ar
The reading material will be sent beforehand.
PROGRAM
2nd meeting: November 16, 16 hs.
We will work with the concepts and ideas worked in the first meeting through some cases that are presented in our city.
- Thinking about the gentrification processes of some neighborhoods: Puerto Madero; la Manzana de San Francisco; the urbanization of the Villa 31 and the relationship with the project of the Paseo del Bajo and the real estate development of the Quartier Retiro.
- Urban Marketing: Palermo Hollywood; Corrientes Street in its different stages
All these questions are worked with the text of Rosler, who gives account of the problems that are reflected in large urban centers, centers of consumption, social inequalities, precarious labor and real estate speculation, among others.
