As curator of the BaBeL2 – Biennial of critical housing in Rome, Francesca Iovino will give a lecture on Creative Citizenship.

BaBeL2 is an experimental event in where the theories on architecture and urban space interact with the architecture as a practice of act as initiative and activity related to the theoretical discipline.

By crossing practices and different conditions of the inhabiting, this Biennial try to recognize but also to discover a daily living that can open heterogeneous and complex scenarios: the platform Babel activates spaces to coincide and to interact paths and researches, to convey them to an open and public training on housing. From the first long stage on the "right to the city" - Forte Prenestino, May 2012 – to the next urban intrusion in which the gaze will be beyond the issues "rights", as sanctioned values and not more than of finish line, to focus toward the architecture of making or even toward the participation in the transformations of the space in which we live. By crossing expressly those practices of appropriation on sites, but also on social relations and on the activation she will explain how the next biennial will narrate the social and urban emergency that deconstructs space city; how it will find consolidation in the reflections and discussions on the experiences of urban activism, subject today to a jammed evolution, in attempt to advance towards the dynamics internal to movement's policies relatively and inextricably to the development policies of the contemporary city of European matrix.
