Move: Theatrum Mundi / Global Street
Friday 12 October, 2012
9:30am - 6pm, $0
Columbia University, Avery Hall
1172 Amsterdam Avenue, Wood Auditorium
Organized by Saskia Sassen and Richard Sennett.
Theatrum Mundi and the Global Street represent the combination of two projects with the same goal – finding new ways to animate street life, and discussions around the themes of Light, Sound and Social Movement in the city, the future of the Cultural Centre, and the Global Street challenged and confronted ways of thinking about how the visual, material and performing arts can be in conversation with the life of cities, their planning and design. The Global Street’s emerging research of cities and street life lends a politics of the public realm to the conversation.
This is a conference about presence and absence in the city. Theatrum Mundi addresses presence. The Global Street addresses the dialogue between absence and presence in the city.

PLACES FOR FREE SPEECH IN THE CITY
In a time of cordoned-off "free speech zones" and after the eviction of Occupy from Zucotti Park, a question arises: What could and should a space for Free Speech and Assembly in New York City look like? To address this question we are bringing together a group of prominent street activists, artists, and architects (and an international human rights lawyer) to have a public brainstorm to discuss the problem and speculate some solutions. No written white papers or preconceived plans, just smart and creative people with an interest in creating spaces for political expression collaboratively creating new possibilities for imagining public space. After an hour of a guided brainstorm, the prompt will be opened up to the audience for public participation.
