discover and tell new and original uses of public spaces in Turin is the aim of the competition typs - Tell Your Public Space. The
public space is the plot of which is woven the city, a red thread that connects people, places and routes. Are squares, gardens, sidewalks, porches, galleries, parks, streets and corners of the city, that crowd of people, customs and habits. Open spaces different from each other, but with something in common: they are everywhere and everyone. Why
"public" does not mean only the owner, but also the uses to which they can do: there are those who stop, who goes through them, who transforms them In Torino there are ideas and suggestions for living the urban area with originality often behind the wall of a garden or on the steps of a staircase hiding practices unpublished and original. Use extra-ordinary, imaginative and spontaneous, that many times arise from the creativity of those who spend more time outside the home: young people. So we organize drinks and picnic night in city parks, will skate in the streets of downtown, bike polo is played in the parking lots on the outskirts, you play and dance mazurkas illegal under the railway bridges.
These informal practices are expressions of material needs (rest, play, pause, sports) and intangible (meeting, exchange, knowledge), which typs wants to emerge and spread.
The Competition is aimed mainly at young people between 16 and 30 years, which will have to investigate, seize and return the uses of public spaces with photos, videos or stories;
will be awarded both the quality of the work submitted is the originality of the uses identified. For each section will be selected and awarded the two best works considered by the jury.
