AbstractIn this session we will address the role of open-ended, continuous community based projects in the city, taking as an example the multidisciplinary residency PLAY(THE)GROUND organized by the MAIS UNO +1 collective in Lisbon. The residency focuses of inviting artists and practitioners to spend time in urban peripheries or other invisible/invisibilized sites of the city (such as the phychiatric hospital or the elder center). These can also be perceived as externalities, sites where the hegemonic economic system failed. By creating practices of engagement on marginalized places, the collective engages in a diverse economies approach, in order to sustain the residency project over time. These practices are widely common in the sites where the residencies take place. The seminar will be held by members of the collective, resident artist and community members, according to their availability.Participants: Nicole Sánchez (Mais uno +1)
