Mapping of Visual Pollution, Rožňava (workshop)

It is so omnipresent to the point of ignorance. Mostly we try to ignore it, or we try to fight it - in any case, it is here, it gets under our skin and affects us in a fundamental way. Kultural Centre launches workshop on how to look at visual pollution and fight it in professional way. Urbanist and chief editor of the first manual of outdoor advertising in Slovakia, Milota Sidorova will hold workshop in which she outlines lessons learnt from Bratislava and propose ways how to deal with visual pollution in other cities. The event is part of the project Public Spaces Live (VPN), in which we focus on the public space of the city from different perspectives (architectural, sociological, ecological, urban, economic ...) . The project is financed from public sources of the EU Effective Public Administration program administered by the Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic.
