Activities

Urban Gorillas initiated a series of events using the AGORA as a potent cultural and social catalyst. It graced three significant events: Afrobanana, Pame Kaimakli, and the State Gallery of Contemporary Art. With its adaptable design, the structure is poised to be embraced by diverse organizations for future events, bringing with it a rich tapestry of activities and programs.

Objectives

Through the various activities, the Agora co-creates with youth and marginalised communities and make a series of events generating innovative, creative expressions of these groups in various public spaces across the island. 

The objectives are attained through a mobile green structure, the 'Agora' that travels to different underutilized urban sites and transforms them into vibrant, inclusive hubs through artistic, cultural and educational activities. At each stop the 'Agora'- forms a ‘living laboratory’: it acts as a platform for free and creative expressions in public space engaging multi-sectoral groups and becomes the ground for the manifestation of youth, marginalised groups, and civil society organisations.
