This Is Not A Gateway, an independent organisation that  brings
together critically engaged emerging urbanists, is seeking submissions
for its 4th annual festival (23-25 September 2011, London). Proposals
are welcome from anybody whose point of reference is ‘the city’. There
is no fee to propose a project for the festival.

Festival proposals must be critical and agitational; they must offer
new propositions about cities. The festival offers a platform to
discuss the politics and urgent questions at stake in cities.

The festival is entirely participant lead. Previous festivals have
included discussions, soapboxes, workshops, book & project launches,
guided walks & tours, exhibitions and film screenings. Participants
have come from the fields of urban regeneration, economics,
government, visual art, psychiatry, archaeology, activism, medicine,
journalism, literature, religion, technology, architecture, planning,
environmental protection, law, property, theory, housing, film,
psychology, finance, philosophy, engineering, human rights & social
justice. Furthermore participants have included residents, newly
arrived immigrants, youth-workers and local politicians. Read about
the 2010 Festival here

The knowledge generated at the festival is built upon and widely
circulated in the annual book Critical Cities; Ideas, Knowledge and
Agitation from Emerging Urbanists (Myrdle Court Press, London).

This Is Not A Gateway’s role is that of a facilitator. It provides the
infrastructure to enable participants to hold their own activities.
Support includes securing venues, equipment, publicity, audiences and
installation assistance. This Is Not A Gateway is not a funder.

The festival is coordinated by Deepa Naik & Trenton Oldfield.
