Le 21 mai, l’exposition citybooks accueille le blog international popupcity.net. citybooks et le blog se rencontrent pour une soirée interactive.

‘La ville’ est vivante. On voit partout surgir de nouvelles initiatives. Le blog popupcity.net se focalise sur la ville au sens large du terme : il s’intéresse à la culture urbaine, l’art, les tendances, l’architecture… Jeroen Beekmans et Joop de Boer, organisateurs des fameuses PechaKuchaNights à Amsterdam, nous emmènent le 21 mai sur un parcours plein d’idées, d’histoires et de tendances qui sonnent des couleurs à nos villes d’aujourd’hui et de demain.

Avec l’inspiration de citybooks, la soirée promet de sortir de l’ordinaire avec des excursions en ville numériques, des blogs parlés, un mix de billets succincts et autres amuse-gueule audiovisuels. Bref, une soirée sur la ville comme on n’en aura encore jamais vu.

• Talk with Amsterdam's Community Bloggers
  What can community blogs do to the city? We’ll have an informal discussion with the three main community bloggers in Amsterdam, Ilovenoord, Boloboost and Nice Nieuw-West. What’s their mission and why are they so successful? How do they use their blog as a city-making instrument?
• Funky Tunes by The Deer Friends
  The Deer Friends is a Belgian band consisting of three ambitious young men. They’ll take care of a musical intermezzo during The Pop-Up City Live.

  Psychogeography is the art of wandering around. Experience Venice as you never have before. We’re not doing the tourist tour, but take a whole different angle on Venice with photographer Andrea Galiazzo.

  Flemisch author Saska de Coster spent two weeks in Macedonia’s capital Skopje for the occasion of the Citybooks project. At The Pop-Up City Live she’ll share her adventures with the audience.
