R for Republic is the first manifestation of a Republic, a long-term project by Cohabitation Strategies and Landscape Choreography with the support of mare culturale urban. Atto Primo took place during the historical Quarto Cagnino party, a neighbourhood situated in the periphery of Milan. In recent months mare commissioned to Cohabitation Strategies and Landscape Choreography the development of a strategy to interrelate with the neighbourhood. What emerged was a dense dialogue with citizens, cultural actors, associations and local organisations. The project is composed by three main urban actions: the production of a neighbourhood flag composed by symbols representing the local initiatives or individuals in collaboration with Paola Anziché; a parade of urban re-appropriation choreographed by Balletto Civile; a collectively built pavilion with the help of constructLab. It is the beginning of an exercise of collective imagination and the attempt to define new boundaries in the perception of the problems and potentials of one of the most diverse areas of the city: the Zona 7. R for Republic is the first manifestation of the collaboration between mare culturale urbano and the city. The project is part of a larger program of actions in the Zona 7 of Milan, where mare is situated.
