Abstract
This talk will discuss a European early stage research and training program in development, called TRADERS. It focuses on developing and testing a methodological framework on which art and design (A&D) researchers can rely when working on public space projects in participatory ways. This framework is transferable and aims to enhance the potentials in A&D practices to contribute creatively in processes of changes in public space and branches related to the public space, such mobility or health. Hasselt-Genk will be the anchor case area on which six international early stage researchers work together. TRADERS will cooperate with Z-OUT: a centre of expertise on art, design and architecture in relation to public space. Involved partners are LUCA/ Media, Arts & Design Faculty (KHLim), University of Leuven, University of Gothenburg, Design Academy Eindhoven, Royal College of Art and Chalmers University of Technology.
