CHANGE REALITY: Renaming the Streets of Zagreb

The project of REINIGUNGSGESELLSCHAFT for UrbanFestival Zagreb provides a possibility for local voluntary initiatives and civil society organisations to create ideas for new street names and present them in public space. Groups and associations that deal with issues like minority protection, female human rights, political discourses, environmental protection, responsible use of media and citizens rights were invited to rename ten streets in the city of Zagreb.

While the renamings of streets and squares, that took place in many east european countries since the beginning of the nineteenninetees were often representing ideas of a post-communist conservatism, the actual proposal draw the attention to the synergies and contradictions in the development of a society, that is strongly influenced by complex interdependences of current economic, social, technological cultural and political changes.
