TERRApolis is a trilogy dedicated to the city of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat that takes the form of a journey through the physical, spiritual, human and non-human life of this place. The premiere is celebrated on Tuesday June 29, 2021 at 18:30 (CET) at Auditorium of Tecla Sala Arts Centre in L’Hospitalet de LLobregat. 

A-Place will be present in the AMPS conference “Cities in a changing world”, which will take place on-line from June 16 to 18, 2021, The paper "An Empty Space, a Virtual Place: Cultural Life and Creative Solutions in Besieged Cities” focuses on the work done in "A Confined Place".

As a member of the A-Place, each year LOOP commissions a new video production to further explore the notion of “placemaking”.

As a result, this year artist David Bestué and filmmaker Roser Corella will develop their collaborative film project “Estructura” departing from the urban context of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat.

This exhibition shows the work done in the programme “A Confined Place” from March to June 2020. It is structured into three blocks: 

- Perception and representation of space in time of confinement
- Artistic interventions in times of lockdown with hybrid media
- A Confined Urban Vision: Short film competition

“A Confined Place” Exhibition- School of Architecture La Salle, from May 20 to June 10, 2021.

On May 21st, at the opening of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition - la Biennale di Venezia, the Cyprus Pavilion hosted the latest project of Urban Gorillas “ASeedlingPlace” under their project: "Anachoreis: Upon Ihabiting Distances".

ASeedlingPlace is an open process in constant progress, where visitors are invited to participate by planting seeds, transfering cuttings, tending and growing new plants in a collective garden. The structure acts as a scaffolding, a facilitator for co-creation while also extending its physicality by providing seeds and inviting the visitors to plant elsewhere, expanding it in both space and time.

63 entries from professional artists from 17 European countries were submitted to the second “A-PLACE – Video Production Open Call”, in its 2021 edition. We would like to thank everyone who submitted a proposal for their interest and efforts.

Presentation an discussion of the work carried out in "A Confined place", hosted by Nova University of Lisbon, Wednesday, April 28, at 19:00 CET. Join us at:  https://videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/6859482239
