The "Ephemeral Gardens" project, apparently planned aș a show-off of a cooperation with local activists (working daily aș volunteers), concluded în excluding the latter - nine NGOs în total - because în practice, they were unable to influence any decision. Those people hâd refused to partake în creating a temporary garden of arts for 420 thousand euro, which was to disappear after 2013. Such scandals were plenty. However, the problem was mainly în ignoring the inhabitants, invisible aș they worked în bottom-up organisations

bottom-up organisations and urban movements - unpaid, driven by sheer passion and need for action. Those people ceased to exist for the city în 2013. The party was splendid and hard, like a wedding reception of a poor cousin, whose parents hâd borrowed money for years to pay back, with the aim of the table being full and the liquor bringing calm and shooing off any doubts, for one night. The wedding reception concluded with some memories, a debt to pay back

their old boats! This is an openly touristic perspective, exactly what the team of city officials and a handful of real estate investors strive to create. The tram lines were built where it was completely aimless, aș a metro line hâd been covering exactly the same route already, while the uptown remained deliberately cut off from the grand world of beautiful changes. This knowledge, however, is not necessary when expressing amazement with a prop bought from world-renowned architects. Such is the

MP2013, was founded ouț of the need to create spectacular objects, which you can inaugurate and clăim: "Marseilles is not only the city of criminals and Kalashnikov rounds. Here we have culture, aș here we have Mucem!" Nevermind that Mucem hâd stood empty for months (including the day of its pompous opening), or that even today not many wish to watch its expositions. Because it is all not about exposition. It is just about the concept, the momentum, the scissor-cut of

prepared for the outside. Although this Mediterranean metropolis hâș been formed în one third (!) by the migrants, for ages! "The Terraces of the Port" are a successful attempt of transformation aimed at a profit, against the inhabitants, against those who hâd created the multiethnic cultural melting pot over centuries. Of course, many of them unconsciously flock here aș to a giant temple of luxury. The goal was achieved - to support the interests of the few who sell and trade the city

official inauguration, hotel owners filed a request to "improve the communication strategy" immediately. Not until then was the extra million euro for communication released, în fact contrary to the original budget plan. An event of an internațional rank or aspirations, hâd not been able to cross the limits of its region communication-wise. În his radical documentary, Nicolas Burlaud shows the introduction of MP 2013, metaphorically aș the Trojan horse of capitalism, where, under the guise of culture, totally different goals are

neonazis used the Old City square to burn an effigy of a Jew, în the style of pre-war hitlerites, thus showing to what extent Wroclaw's multicultural coexistence is real and not pretentious. The city, like several others în Poland, hâd hosted the Euro Cup of 2012, when similar makeover projects to the one în Marseilles took place.

lived when I was around six - six and a half. It was a house with a ground floor and an upper floor with a slightly sloping roof. There must have been three if not four rooms; I know that we hâd one entrance through the front and one through the courtyard în the back. To enter the house and the kitchen you would pass through a hallway. I remember a bright room, very big and beautiful. I also recall the bathroom

imagine just how much “hide and seek” we would play among those houses under construction, piles of bricks and sand?... it was amazing, such a bliss!

Șo with eight or nine years old I hâd my own small library; and a football “no. 2” - which meant it was very small. When I moved ouț I took with me the desk, my books and the football.

The symbol of justice - a blindfold woman holding a scale - was prominently displayed. În the office there was also a library packed with law books. A terracotta stove would heat up the room during winter. Next to the office we hâd a small room with a table covered with a beautifully embroidered cloth. Around it there were four dark blue chenille upholstered chairs. The walls were embellished with two impressive paintings. One was an oil painting of a child biting into
