Concept:
As part of the Citymine(d) Brussels Micronomics Festival, this project is an extension from a previous narrative poster project (The City and its Stories). The concept of micronomics concerns itself with people actioning small, experimental initiatives of exchange. Shifting the communicative nature of the poster this series offers a fictional city-narrative translated into the 12 most spoken languages of Brussels, Belgium. Touching on the phenomena of living side by side, they are the stories of neighbours; of a city and its inhabitants, their dialogues and gestures, bartering and worth.
This project could not have been realised without the support of Sofie van Bruystegem of Citymine(d) and her network of multi-lingual friends who offered translation support.
