(My) neighborhood interrogates the connection we establish between our living space and the urban environment in which we live. In relation to this interrogation process, the series of events generate a platform to reveal our thoughts. Inspired by the idea of “hanging clothes”, an on-site installation took place in Güzelyalı Park with the active engagement of participants.

 

(my) neighborhood is a project composed of two stages: research and react. Meanwhile the former phase comprises research about the socio-spatial environment, it embodies two methods in order to answer the questions below:

 

• Do you have the right in decision making in your neighborhood?

• Would you be actively involved in processes you may want to change?

​

First output is a 3 minute video collage prepared with the answers of the neighborhood residents given to the questions above. Second is a survey related to various neighborhoods of Izmir which is available both online and offline.
