| Description | The chapter presents in-stage analysis and suggestion for the community action in the chosen neighbourhood of Lesbos island, that was in 2017 populated by old-settled local inhabitants who shared public space with refugees living in the nearby refugee camp. The artistic metaphor of rupture is used to find solutions for common dwelling, that present both, reflection of observations of public spaces and its use in the chosen neighbourhood, as well as potential of the discursive, sub-political interventions that avoid stereotyping and present possible opening up of development pathways, using both, analysis of daily life and the poetic elements present in lived public space. |
