Urban Studies: Exhibition and Walk

In December the Urban Studies department organizes two public events. The student exhibition “Fitness and the city” (opening 7 December, 15.00) encompasses topics ranging from housing and care to normativsity and semiocapitalism to ask how “fitness” produces value in the contemporary city.

On 18 December, a student-led
walk through Tallinn’s Paljassaare will explore how neoliberal urbanism and
resistances to it shape this contested urban landscape. Resulting from two separate resarch studio courses, the exhibition and the walk illustrate Urban Studies’s twin emphasis on critical theory and field research. More info on the program’s homepage.
