In 2024, instead of the “usual” PLACCC Dance in May, we will present PLACCC Extra with artistic projects in public space in the XI. and II. districts of Budapest.
With the support of Budapest City Municipality and Pro Cultura Urbis, we present four artists and collectives who are connected in different ways to the XI. and II. the district of Budapest. Meetlab collective has been operating its base in the XI. district, Dávid Somló regularly organizes small-scale performances in his apartment in the district, and Éva Bubla’s several smaller public events popped up in the area. On the other hand, Kata Juhasz has been active in the II. district as a doctor and also as an artist for many years.
The art works presented in the frame of PLACCC Extra offer active involvement to the participants instead of mere public spectacles, they provide the experience of sensing the districts in a different way (which makes them local and strengthens the connection), but on the other hand, they touch on more global issues. The projects respond to urban life and environmental challenges, they help the sensory mapping of the urban space and ecosystem, and the (re)connection to it.
