10.-12. oktoobrini toimub Kunstiteaduse Instituudis konverents Circulation, Translation, Transition, mis on võrgustiku Second World Urbanity: Between Capitalist and Communist Utopias teistkordne kokkusaamine.
Arhitektuuriajaloolaste Steven Harrise ja Daria Bocharnikova algatatud võrgustiku uurimisaineseks on sotsialistlikud linnad Kuubast Jugoslaaviani ja Venemaast Hiinani, nende loomine, ehitamine, ideede liikumine ja argipraktikad.
Projektis osalevate mitmesuguse taustaga uurijate eesmärgiks on kummutada ettekujutus sotsialistlikest linnadest kui hallist ja igavast keskkonnast, pakkudes mitmeplaanilisemat arusaama nende saavutustest ja piirangutest.
Konverents leiab aset Kunstiteaduse Instituudis, Suur-Kloostri 11, ruumis 103.
