Public space as a common space for all: a new generation of artists in post-Soviet countries positions itself on
the line of defence of public interest, inviting citizens to claim their right to the city through art interventions.
The project SPACES assembles curators, artists, activists and researchers in Chis˛ina˘u, Kiev, Tbilisi and Yerevan.
At the conference, speakers connect their experiences and reflections. The discussion proceeds to looking at
the positioning of artists in current processes of protest, activism and change in a global context.
