Today, the need to identify and instrumentalise “spatial practices” becomes significant due to the unprecedented visibility of what one might call “globalization at work”: from Iraq to Nepal, Dubai to Mumbai, a new atlas is being re-drawn for the 21st century, one that Thomas Friedman describes as a new “flatness”. A report from the front lines of cultural activism looks at spatial practitioners who actively trespass into neighbouring or alien fields of knowledge. The publication Did Someone Say Participate? re-draws the map of participatory, spatial practice that is a function of such shifts.
