We’re still buzzing with excitement from our Shift Culture! Artivism & Campaign Design workshop last Friday at @werkstatt_hds! An incredible group of people came together and were super energized to co-create culture change through art ✊🔥 A huge thank you to our Dream Team, @cleobarnett from @amplifierart and Guerrilla Foundation’s Ivan March – for being so inspiring and creating a beautiful, brave space for magic to happen ✨🌈
This is just the beginning! Stay tuned for more collective action happening soon 💪🌏

We’re in Praga, one of Warsaw’s poorest and fastest changing districts, talking to community initiatives trying to help connect the city’s revitalization projects to the needs of residents. This is the beautiful home of the Zmiania Foundation, a self-organized community center that collects books for prisoners and other marginalized groups. “The revitalization of Praga is going very fast but not attending the needs of the community,” they say. .

When actors of urban change visit each other and then magic happens… 😍⠀
Paco’s Pop-Up Café was a spontaneous street placemaking experiment as Paco & Oscar from #TeamValencia visited @nabolagshager and #TeamOslo on a lovely late summer day. The free café was set up in front of a school and was a big hit with passers-by, with delicious Mexican food, games, and good stories from neighbors, teachers and students. So glad our program brought them together and the synergies continue beyond their original projects! ✨⠀
