INTRODUCTION

The Meeting Point is a pulsing hub for the Triennial, acting as an info- and press point, a space for partners and sponsors, and a place to enjoy the local food & drinks. The 2015 venue is RElab, Liege’s FabLab, which is running its own activities dedicated to ‘makers’ culture and presenting an exhibition in three containers on the Place Saint-Etienne. Each features lab methodologies and social design from a different context: 3D print design; Experimentation: food design; and Slow design. RECIPROCITY’s welcome point is housed in a fourth container. RElab’s headquarters and the Meeting Point is also home to the ‘meeting room’, where RECIPROCITY and its partner organisations host a series of events focused on social innovation, open source design and DIY, in a setting furnished with Artek’s Alvar Aalto collection.
Elsewhere, RECIPROCITY and RElab actively share & exchange their agendas with a number of European cities’ cultural activities via Café Europa, a project on interactive social & cultural cohesion launched by the European Capital of Culture, MONS 2015.

WORKSHOPS AND CONFERENCES


01/10, 1:30-2pm: Artek Manifest
Conference by Marianne Goebl, managing director. The far-sighted founders of the Finnish furniture company Artek believed in a grand synthesis of the arts. When the company was founded in 1935, an Artek Manifest was drawn up, inspired by functionalism. The vision was to interconnect modern visual arts, rational furniture production and popular education. These goals and values are still very much part of Artek today.
During the lecture, a series of Artek’s Stool 60 by Alvar Aalto will be retuned with laser cut technology
by three artsits from Liege: Marc Vanlindt – fractales digitales; Toska – Urban graphic; Romain Troupin – Art fake.

INTRODUCTION

This exhibition is the result of an international call for entries addressed to schools, students & designers (product design, graphic design, interior architecture, service design and design for social innovation). From nearly 200 entrants, 58 products, projects and services were selected by a professional committee, with four prizes awarded by an international jury. Wallonia prize: Local Eat by Julie Royaux (BE); Wallonia-Brussels Federation prize: Tiffin by Violaine Dupuis & Groupe One (BE); Euregio Meuse-Rhine prize: Edible Growth by Chloé Rutzerveld (NL); International prize: Wakati by Arne Pauwels (BE). The awards ceremony takes place in the exhibition venue on 1 October during the opening event of RECIPROCITY design liège 2015. The Taste of Change encompasses changes of habits, lifestyles, food consumption, conservation, production & distribution, and bio- and cultural diversity. Through tools and ingredients we use on a daily basis to feed ourselves, collectively it reveals how today’s design questions and provides objects, services and systems which foster innovation.

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to__ experiences the role design can play in engaging and bringing about positive change in local communities. It is an encounter with a series of new narratives woven for and with the inhabitants of the neighbourhoods of Saint-Gilles in the city of Liege - continuing a mission from RECIPROCITY 2012 - and of Trasenster in the town of Seraing.
Through objects, images, stories and schemes, the exhibition offers a broad taste of the micro interventions carried out, which ranged from empty shop windows as communication tools to peer-to-peer food services. Visitors are invited to explore how designers, design students, inhabitants and other local stakeholders worked together.

In addition, the Public Innovation Place is an informal workplace located within the Welcome to_ exhibition space. A live encounter for inhabitants and local stakeholders, it features a series of simple tools to support design activities aimed at social innovation for neighbourhoods or society in general. One element is the indoor and outdoor workshops animated by a select group of designers, and open to the public. Each workshop focuses on a specific local context (e.g. Liège, Seraing, ...), theme and design approach.

HISTORY

Following the 2012 RECIPROCITY edition, during the 2013-14 and 2014-15 academic years students have continued their participatory design work in the Saint-Gilles district of Liege: a targeted and topical approach that addresses the local food supply chain and markets; new forms of agro-food production and distribution; and the development and creation of pop-up stores. Parallel to this, and based on the methodology of research that was adopted by Welcome to Saint-Gilles, in October 2014 ERIGES and RECIPROCITY began a collaboration.
Eriges (Eriger Seraing) is the autonomous municipal authority of Seraing, a local public body that has its own areas of jurisdiction distinct from that of the town. Eriges is responsible for the successful implementation of the area’s master plan: an urban redevelopment and renewal project covering some 800 urban hectares. From January 2015, a design laboratory for social innovation was launched: during two workshops, an external group of experts in design for social innovation (Virginia Tassinari, Nik Baerten, Pablo Calderon Salazar, Henriëtte Waal, Yara Al-Adib and Elisa Bertolotti), along with the Euregion FabLabs and a school (MAD Faculty Genk) have been working in partnership with the residents and local organisations.

WORKSHOPS


03/10, 10am – 5pm
Mapping (Hi)stories – a small editorial/cartographic exercise

(designer: Pablo Calderón Salazar).
Venue: PIP, Cité Miroir

During this workshop, we attempt to engage the citizens of Saint Gilles in an editorial exercise to co-write / draw / represent the story of their neighbourhood. In 2012, during the project ‘Welcome to Saint Gilles’, Pablo Calderón Salazar gathered some stories from / in / about the neighbourhood and made a ‘journal’ which aimed to remind people of the value of their district. This ‘journal’ was included in a chocolate (shaped as the map of Saint Gilles), which was sold at the local Chocolatier Franz. One of the stories collected in this journal was that of a pilgrimage that musicians used to hold in Rue Saint Gilles 400 years ago, stopping at different points along the street to play some music. The story in the chocolate, inspired Mélanie Dellieu, a Saint Gilles inhabitant, to organise a new kind of pilgrimage in October 2014. Considering the relative ‘success’ of this initiative, we want to develop further this editorial exercise. Starting from a series of maps of Saint Gilles, we will co-create content with the participants relative to each of the ‘areas’ of the map, using three techniques: writing, drawing and collage.

04/10, 9:30am – 13pm
Nouveaux récits pour Trasenster

(designers: Virginia Tassinari (IT/BE), Elisa Bertolotti (IT), Nik Baerten (BE).
Venue: Maison des Jeunes, Seraing (Puppet theatre)

A key element to the Welcome to Seraing project is the co-creation of stories envisaging positive futures for the neighbourhood of Trasenster together with its inhabitants, visitors, etc. Using a storytelling toolkit designed especially for the context of Trasenster – yet adaptable to any neighbourhood facing future challenges & opportunities – people are brought together to write new narratives, new sources of inspiration and mutual understanding for themselves and local stakeholders as a first step in constructing a positive future together. The toolkit combines local challenges, places of opportunity & places soon to change as foreseen by the masterplan, skills present in the local community and seeds for solutions. Together these elements allow people…
In this workshop we invite all people with a positive outlook on the future in general, and enthusiastic to change their neighbourhoods for the better in particular, to join us to write some inspiring new narratives for Seraing together using the storytelling toolkit.  The workshop itself will take place in the Théâtre de Marionnettes du Haut Pré at the Maison des Jeunes (Rue René Delbrouck 5, Ougrée, Seraing) at the occasion of the start of the new theatre season.  You will get to see two short performances by the local theatre company and during the break, create new stories of your own using the storytelling toolkit, together with the kids and parents of the neighbourhood. We will experiment with how an old form of storytelling rooted in the territory – such as the puppet theatre – can help to broaden and feed the collective imagination regarding inspiring, sustainable futures for the neighbourhood and community of Trasenster. The stories written will be included in a performance by the local puppet theatre on October 10th (10h30) at the Cité Miroir in the “Welcome to__” exhibition.

05-06/10, 10 – 17h
Quand les marionnettes parlent …
(designers: Virginia Tassinari (IT/B), Elisa Bertolotti (IT), Nik Baerten (B).
Venue: PIP, Cité Miroir

Welcome to Seraing emphasises the importance of co-creating new narratives as a way to imagine bright new futures for local neighbourhoods, inspiring not only new initiatives to undertake together but also new roles for each to play in constructing positive new futures. Often our collective imagination with respect to the future of our neighbourhoods is clouded by nostalgia for a past bygone or its current state making it hard to see an alternative, yet a healthy dose of fresh imagination can do wonders. This workshop aims to transform inspiring stories about the future of the neighbourhood of Trasenster, written together with its inhabitants into an enchanting performance for the local puppet theatre. Within this workshop we will experiment with how an old form of storytelling rooted in the territory – such as the puppet theatre – can help to broaden and feed the collective imagination and inspire sustainable alternatives for the neighbourhood of Trasentser.
You are kindly invited to drop in and join us during these days to draw the storyboards of the stories, and the decors for a theatre performance by the Théâtre de Marionnettes du Haut Pré. The performance will take place in a portable version of the puppet theatre we co-created with and for the inhabitants of Trasenster on October 10th, in the Cité Miroir in the exhibition Welcome to__.

10/10, 10h30 -12:30
Spectacle par le Théâtre de Marionnettes du Haut Pré
Venue: PIP, Cité Miroir

On saturday morning, October 10th, the Théâtre de Marionnettes du Haut Pré welcomes you to the enactment of a series of stories co-created with the neighbourhood during two workshops (“Nouveaux récits pour Trasenster” and “Quand les marionnettes parlent …”). These scenarios envisioning bright new futures for the Trasenster neighbourhood, co-created with the inhabitants will be performed, using the decors made by the participants of the workshops within the portable theatre co-designed with the inhabitants for the Théâtre de Marionnettes du Haut Pré. The spectacle aims to inspire inhabitants and other local stakeholders in particular, but also outsiders – we are all inhabitants of our neighbourhoods –  to broaden their views of what their neighbourhood could be, rather than focus on what it is or is not. The play aims to inspire not only the collective imagination as such, but also catalyse initiative, in bottom-up ways by inhabitants or in collaboration with the city and local organisations.

INTRODUCTION

The project aims to shed light on the practices of building deconstruction and the reuse of construction materials.
Using a curatorial approach that seeks to let the materials speak for themselves, Rotor will approach a relatively unknown sector of economic activities by presenting alternative practices, likely to yield new knowledge capable of reconfiguring the customary flows (or the dead-ends...) of the material economy.

Starting from a thoroughly empirical observation of deconstruction and reuse practices, it will launch a series of reflections: about how cost of labour and of materials relate in Europe, about the complex relations between architects and the building materials industry, or even more poetic questions such as tastes and colours.

Partners: SPI, Liege

CURATORS

Founded in 2005, Rotor is a collective of people with a common interest in the material flows in industry and construction. On a practical level, Rotor handles the conception and realisation of design and architectural projects. On a theoretical level, Rotor develops critical positions on design, material resources and waste, through research, exhibitions, writings and conferences.

INTRODUCTION

Realised in three parts (posters in town, workshops, exhibition), the project emphasises graphic design and visual communication as a channel of civic expression for social change, addressed from the perspective of an intervention in public space and a collaborative act that also shares tangible know-how. Invited guest designers will each run a workshop open to students and the public, where the language of graphic design is considered a dynamic tool in the city, and not as a pure technique.

conference Malte Martin at auditorium B3-103 – ESA Saint-Luc (50 participants).
Conference in French and English

A short introduction by Teresa Sdralevich and Nawal Bakouri, curators of Printed Commons
Martin, internationally reknowned graphic designer, will present his respective work just before the opening of Printed Commons, letting the public dive into their creative process.
The graphic designer will speak on the occasion of the workshops at ESA Saint-Luc (see also the tab WORKSHOPS).
Malte Martin (Berlin, 1958) observes constantly his visual, political and social environment. His projects are driven by this strive and it’s this same strive that he tries to convey by creating forms that are alternatively direct and colorful, or delicate and low-key. It’s the emergency exit from an environment that shows little respect for those who live in it, those who are permanently bombarded with commercial messages and prescriptions.

INTRODUCTION

Starting from the term CONSTRUCTION and the actions implied by its DE / RE prefixes, the content of this conference/debate develops the discourse around sustainable architecture at both an international and local level, addressing issues of accessibility & best practices including low-energy impact solutions, renovation or construction, and reuse of building materials.
CONSTRUCTION is equally considered as a state of mind, a will to put the built landscape into wider perspective but also a necessary act of deconstructing ancient cultural and socio-economic parameters to build new equitable and resilient societal systems. The conference theme, beginning with the architecture sector (highlighting its increasing multidisciplinary direction) aims to encourage discussion of a cross-disciplinary critical view on current use and abuse of concepts such as innovation, growth, ecology, broadening the debate to the circular economy and participative creative practices in public & social innovation.
