Expected outcome: First those panel will be intriguing, white panel, distributed in the streets of karantina. Those panels will be here to start give to the inhabitant a place where they can freely express themselves. This will be a first appropriation of the street for the inhabitant. We believe that this freedom and blank space will allow them to express them selfes, be visible from the streets. It can aslo be seen as a way to exteriorized things (kind of art therapy in a sense). The billboards can be activated through workshops with local street-artists. At a second stage, the billboards will be used to display information about ongoing events and daily life in karantina, acting as an info-wall. It will advertise and inform about the 2 other installations and then be available as a free space to announce events, meetings, or any informations. The management of these informations and their presentation will be supervised by a small commitee.
