EKÜMENOPOLIS - filmvisning och diskussion.
Kl 18.45. Konsthall C, Cigarrvägen 14, Farsta.
The film tells the story of Istanbul on a neo-liberal course to destruction. It follows the story of a migrant family from the demolition of their neighborhood to their on-going struggle for housing rights. The film takes a look at the city on a macro level and through the eyes of experts, going from the tops of mushrooming skyscrapers to the depths of the railway tunnel under the Bosphorous strait; from the historic neighborhoods in the south to the forests in the north. It's an Istanbul going from 15 million to 30 million. It's an Istanbul going from 2 million cars to 8 million. It's the Istanbul of the future that will soon engulf the entire region. It's an Istanbul you have never seen before.

After the screening Catharina Gabrielsson will have a discussion with the film-maker Imre Azem about the situation in Istanbul and issues around the urban transformation of the global city. What does gentrification mean and how does segregation manifests itself?
For Stockholms Arkitektförening, Meike Schalk & Ola Broms Wessel.
In collaboration with Konsthall C & KTH, Stadsbyggnadsakademin & Cluster for Urban Sustainability."
