The Urban Homesteading Project builds temporary dwelligs and living solutions in public space out of discarded, donated and exchanged materials, as a means to create positive social interactions within a community.
By making representative living situations and inviting community members to participate in these fictional spaces, we transform the apparent physical configuration of a space and its social and symbolic dimensions.
Through collectively observing the movement of the street, the manifestations of change in a neighborhood and the flow of people, we unfold the multiple layers of a place. Each homestead is an investigation of community, available resources and models of sociability in the contemporary city.
