The first stage of the Futures of Listening project culminated in an event that actively involved the local community. The placemaking idea by Urban Koop was warmly welcomed and became a breath of fresh air for the residents of Kalibata Pulo in reimagining their environmental landscape. Together, we also carried out various activities, including cooking together, children’s theater, and a film screening to close the event. We hope that everything we have done so far brings benefits to both the local community and ourselves, as we learn and listen together. May the bonds of our friendship grow even stronger. See you at stage 2!
Futures of Listening: Water Knowledge From Two Cities is initiated by Prof. Suk-Jun Kim (University of Aberdeen), Forum Lenteng – Jakarta, and Urban.Koop – Istanbul), and supported by the British Academy and the University of Aberdeen.
