After more than a year of research at INGENIO, I invite you to an immersive exploration of the trajectory of Ukrainian cities during and post-war reconstruction. This seminar unveils a multifaceted analysis merging: a) network mapping of ongoing initiatives and actors within Ukraine, b) perspectives on net-zero transformation, and c) visionary exploration by Ukrainian refugees.
The spotlight will be on the last one c) the visionary exploration by Ukrainian refugees. Leveraging participatory methodologies—from futuring exercises to photovoice and Lego-enabled work— this research comprehends the often marginalized perspectives essential to the discourse on reconstruction. Notably, these insights form part of an intriguing art exhibition developed with Ruth M-Domènech at the UPV Library, an unconventional yet effective means of presenting scientific findings and gathering additional participatory data. I encourage you to visit it until January 19th (https://acts.webs.upv.es/festival/exposiciones_en.html)
Join this scholarly exploration spanning inter- and trans-disciplinary spheres, dissecting urban transition, migration dynamics, and governance analysis shaping the future tapestry of Ukrainian cities.
