ABSTRACT
Shift the City aims to inform emancipatory research in the arts by an exploratory approach. It emanates from a research project on the interrelations between migration and city change. The developed method of walking interviews attempts to record urban spaces of migration, and simultaneously produce a tool for planners. The interviews serve as a research source and as spatial interventions. The exchange takes place through an interactive web portal, embedding planner’s involvement into post-migrational discourse. A new space opens, allowing direct confrontation of planners with migration and the city, where transnational identities, states of exception, emancipatory practices and urbanity meet.
