Bitter, Sabine, 1960- (Author). Weber, Helmut, 1957- (Added Author).

Summary:

In the video, Caraqueños are interviewed about the everyday use of two megastructures the new Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the insurgent and informal urbanism of the historically and politically central 23 de Enero. The answers of the architects, social activists, governmental experts, artists and people who live in 23 de Enero who are interviewed examine the relationship between these two productive forces which shape Caracas. The problematic of appropriation is overturned the limits of appropriation are challenged by new spatial and social relations that smash the program of the oppressive local modernism and open up to greater social participation. - web site.
