Thank you for thinking @Ray40... @MercerI'm not expert in Favela but good friends are, check the link: https://doi.org/10.25765/sauc.v4i2.153

all very creative ...

@One Man Banned “urban discipline” great academic reference from the 90’s.

@Mercerok there are creative actions that use destruction as expressive medium. you know... nothing is new, everything is change... you need to transform in order to create. part of the transformation can be seen as destruction, but the other part is creation. So if it gets hard, and it can destroy that’s good right ? The secret of creation is on the “with ease” part.

@where war destroys, creativity ... well creates. it’s easy to destroy it is much harder to build something!

@ndv there was no foundation moment of urban creativity, it’s simply human nature. Not dependent of time, it’s existing since ever, thus no class or color, white, black or shades of grey. But it’s yes, it’s something to do right now!

Here is an invitation to debate the Streets in the world of today, the world of COVID19, BLM, Extinction Rebellion and more to come. Is never too much to give emphasis to the fact that we live in particular times, massive changes in the streets are occurring, and the ongoing changes concern us all. The basics of civic education are grounded on advises such as: be creative not destructive, open to dialogue and do not impose actions without reflection. But unfortunately that's not always real and not what it's promoted by radical people and politicians. Streets are the places where common values gather, and by incredible that can seem, there is an international scientific community dedicated to this “phenomenon”, the researchers call it Urban Creativity*. We are all experts in our streets, both the bricks and the people are part of ourselves, whether we like it or not. As experts we have the “responsibility” to act and share your insight to the open debate that occurs everyday in your street. The Urban Creativity researchers have a strong link and deep knowledge about street based creative practices. For an harmonious development they advise (with scientific grounds), to give space and respect public health, at the same time you express yourself, make things happen and contribute for the common benefit of your shared corner of the world, your street. * 9 to 11 July 2020 will be the dates of one more Urban Creativity debate/ conference, this time online, not in Lisbon (Portugal) as usual.
