City Mine(d) is a non-profit organisation established in 1997 under Belgian Law with offices in Brussels, London and Barcelona. The organisation has a professional staff of 7 people, who form the core of a larger group of temporary workers, volunteers and a network of organizations who use the infrastructure to develop their own projects.
Our work has two strands: creating interventions in public spaces and supporting other people or initiatives that have a similar vision of the city. In both cases we aim to work with representatives of certain distinct groups: up-and-coming artists, urban dwellers and those who regulate city life (in whatever scope). City Mine(d) has developed over 70 urban interventions in European cities, focussing on issues of citizenship, democracy and urban regeneration. We create projects with and for the people who use the city for their work, to play or in their daily life.
In recent years City Mine(d) received Commissions from the Flemish Authorities, the Architecture Foundation, the British Council, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and the European Commission and worked with established as well as informal cultural organizations, both locally as well as on an international level.
City Mine(d)'s innovative way of intervening in the urban fabric has received international recognition, has been the subject of a number of doctoral theses and press articles, and has been mentioned in various publications. |
