Urban Disobedience Toolkit

Cities are flooded with visual and sound pollution. Housing is now a costly commodity, an investment for the richest. The capital’s public space no longer serves the residents, but tourism, cars and big capital. How to reclaim the city?

Vladimír Turner, an artist who actively intervenes in public space, has made a film presenting possible answers. The film follows artistic events and performances in Prague that symbolically transform the surroundings and allow people to reclaim space. These projects may also serve as inspiration for people who don’t consider themselves artists. Dynamic shots and editing are in harmony with the rhythms of popular music and Slovak rap. The synergy of image and sound strengthens the tone of the film, which defines itself against the status quo.
