Description
Fiction continues to be our tool in several urban projects, beyond our work in Mumbai as well. We used fictional devices in our participatory projects.
It was integral to our methodology in our project in Nantes (Hotel Dieu - link) where we made the space of 'The Writer's Room' (found mostly in TV and Film production houses) as part of the participatory urban planning process where residents brainstormed and imagined more expanded ways of understanding a site (a hospital that would be evacuated to a different location) and produced short stories, poetry and a screenplay.
In this project - creating fictional products about the fiction produced (through the workshops) became a way of engaging with an even larger circle of residents and citizens.
The exercise involved making a fictional teaser about an imaginary film.
