Hundreds of associates and partners in the Sweet & Salt flagship describe their experiences at the conference and try to predict the possible futures of post-industrial Rijeka.
In 2020 the Sweet & Salt flagship sees the participation of hundreds of associates and partners from Rijeka and around the world, from architects to activists, philosophers and engineers working on a range of topics; creating a manifesto for a new city, scientific and artistic experiments, the growing and distributing food in the urban context, all in order to test new and alternative patterns of everyday life and urban communities in Rijeka. All of them are re-invited to Rijeka in January 2021, at the end of the Rijeka 2020 – European Capital of Culture project, where, in the form of a multi-day conference, they will describe their experiences to the public, propose conclusions of this multi-annual process in a conversation with the others and try to envisage possible futures of post-industrial Rijeka and many other similar cities in the world.
The final publication of the Sweet & Salt flagship will be presented to the public during the conference.
