RE - IMAGINING THE CITY
The Role of Artists in the Shaping of Cities

Presented by the British Council with acclaimed UK cross-media outfit onedotzero and KLue magazine, Re-imagining the City is an audio-visual project exploring how artists are both influenced by, and can help shape, cities, through the use of digital and other emergent technologies. Explore this with us through a programme of audio visual performance, screenings, workshop and debate.
