Rosettenville Studio (2013-2015)

CUBES's second City Studio came to be located in Rosettenville after CUBES was invited to work in the neighborhood by an NPO representing some of the local businesses in the area. The City Studio then expanded to work with other CSOs. The German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) funded the Rosettenville Studio under its focus on urban safety. The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation also supported the Studop. Students and staff connected this overall theme with informal trading, local identities, public space and the role of churches. In July 2015 the Rosettenville Studio culminated in an interactive celebration through a pedagogic table game that evolved out of the studio work. Academic reflection on the City Studio occurred during 2015 and culminated in several reports:

This edition of the City Studio was directed by Assoc Prof Aly Karam (2013), Kirsten Doermann (2014/2015); and coordinated by Jennifer van den Bussche.
