The Valletta 2018 Foundation invites students enrolled in tertiary education courses (any discipline) to submit a project proposal for a mobile lab to be run in Birzebbuġa in the months of July and August 2018; the mobile lab shall serve as a platform for interaction with residents and is expected to be thematically linked to stories, myths or narratives on love, loss and longing.
The Mobile Lab will be a channel to stimulate people:
- To explore personal experience in connection with their locality, community, public space, public memory and legacy;
- To link a personal and emotional side of their life to public space and tangible experiences;
- To benefit and grow from the sharing of each other’s experiences;
- To get closer to the community and public space by creating something new and innovative.
The proposal for the Mobile Lab must integrate a process of documentation (in any medium) as a core element, which shall be used by the Valletta 2018 Foundation during the 2018 edition of the Design4DCity international workshop. The produced documentation will have to have a component which can be communicated via digital means. The selected participant will be assigned an international artistic mentor to provide guidance during the implementation of the project.
Candidates are requested to send in their CV, a letter of intent and the project proposal following these dates:
Closing date: Friday 6 April, 12:00.
