Exhibtion view “We Declare”: Spaces of Housing

“We Declare”: Spaces of Housing addresses the sites and institutions where decisions and declarations regarding housing are made. A beginning point of the project is the crisis in access to housing that Vancouver is facing at this moment, as well as the coming crisis that the Olympics will bring in 2010. “We Declare” aims to approach facts and potentials by understanding that the situation of Vancouver is specific in the way that this crisis has developed and grown —— as well as part of a global urban tendency that continually pushes property rights over the right to stable housing. Hosting the Vancouver Flying University was part of the exhibtion concept.
