Screening 1: A Place in the City.A Place in the City examines hope, resistance, and collective action in Latin American cities. Written and directed by Dr Gabriel Silvestre (Newcastle University), the film delves into the enduring influence of philosopher Henri Lefebvre’s revolutionary ideas on the “right to the city.” Through the lens of communities in Santiago (Chile), Rosario (Argentina), and Belo Horizonte (Brazil), it reveals how ordinary people are reclaiming urban space, fighting for their rights while actively shaping more inclusive neighbourhoods.
Screening followed by a discussion with director Gabriel Silvestre.
→ Monday 23 nov. at 6:30 pm.
→ Rue du Poinçon 53, 1000 Brussels.
