A workshop initiated by L'Ososphère to build a urban and radio programme questionning the processes of democracy in times of populism. In collaboration with Radio en construction and the World Forum for Democracy, the art compagny Des châteaux en l'air and the Conversons group, formed by architects, artistes and specialists of the public spaces and democratic debates.This workshop is open to all the participants of the World Forum for Democracy and will end with a participatory performance at 4.30 pm in the Lobby of the Committee of Ministers.

All day long, we will build up a live and in situ space and webradio, experimenting with cardboard bricks and a webradio broadcast. This time dedicated to a collective experiment aims to model the hypothesis of an urban and radio object, open to conversation and public debate around these questions.

According to you, what is « the people » ? Who is « the people » ? Which « people » are we ?

This workshop and its radio translation acts like a sort of sluice between the city and the World Forum for Democracy, a space for the representation of ideas, an open widow on the city. It is a processing space which allows the City to enter the Forum and the Forum to be heard above its own walls.

You have a singular and committed approach of democratic issues, you think that a better definition of concepts as « populism » could help to engage more indivual and collectifve responsibilities: come and share your expertise, experience and insights with us for a few minutes, an hour or more.

Your contributions will allow the modelling of a performance through a participatory artistic performance at 4.30 pm with Des châteaux en l’air company and the Conversons group. This day of common experiment will also enrich the work of L’Ososphère and Radio en construction through their programme of « Cafés Conversatoires », which will continue regular public conversations around the buidling of the cities in Strasbourg’s public space – the city being the perfect scale to for the making of our societies. 

You can't be on the sport but you want to participate : Send us your images, thoughts, sounds concerning the people and populism via the hashtag #VoxPopuli on twitter and we will happily include your contritbution in our performance.
