Ceuta ante los extremos

Ceuta es una de las ciudades españolas más expuestas a los extremismos. El aumento del racismo en Europa muestra las metodologías de diferentes grupos extremistas de las que Ceuta no es ajena. La experiencia sufrida en primera persona en un gran evento cultural el año pasado en Alemania debería alertarnos de los peligros que nos acechan.

oase kassel. le 18 at documenta 15

In the framework of the participation of Le 18 Marrakech in documenta 15, we wanted to reflect on what an oasis would look like in Kassel. The workshop, OASE KASSEL was organised with Laila Hida (Le 18), Iswanto Hartono (ruangrupa, the colectif selected by documenta for the artistic direction of the 15th edition), Renée Tribble (head of the Urban Design Unit at Dortmund University) and Markus Ambach. Among the activities we developed during the 5 days, there was a presentation of what is an oasis and a conversation about the need of considering the oases as an urban development model in Kassel.

transfretana nº8

Cuando surgen las crisis, las sociedades y sus ciudadanos tienen que reaccionar, reflexionando sobre sus causas y posibles soluciones, eso es lo que hemos hecho en el Instituto de Estudios Ceutíes con la publicación de Estrategias para el futuro de Ceuta, donde hemos analizado algunos de las aspectos en los que deberíamos centrarnos para salir de las crisis que se han ido superponiendo en los últimos años.

Para este nuevo número de Transfretana he escrito dos trabajos, uno que ya compartí (Ceuta y el autoabastecimiento energético) y Ceuta y su posicionamiento geográfico, sobre las posibilidades que nos ofrece nuestra situación geográfica y cómo podría afectar a nuestro urbanismo.

When crises arise, societies and their citizens have to react, reflecting on their causes and possible solutions, that is what we have done at the Instituto de Estudios Ceutíes with a publication (Strategies for the future of Ceuta) where we have analyse some of the aspects we think we should focus on getting out of the crises that have been overlapping in recent years.

I have written two papers, one I already shared (Ceuta and energy self-sufficiency) and Ceuta and its geographical positioning the possibilities that our geographical situation offers us and how it could affect our urban planning.

caravane tighmert: self-questioning

Some times it is important to self-questioning, specially when talking on cultural activities we propose in the desert, without a pattern or model to follow, but building one with our own means. You will find some thoughts on how we are learning to decode the desert through artistic (or non artistic) researches and activities.
