Inhabiting Spaces <\/span><\/i>is Latin Elephant\u2019s art public programme 2021-2023 and the curatorial initiative developed by curator Joselyne Contreras Cerda.<\/span><\/p>

Latin Elephant is a registered charity that promotes alternative and innovative ways of engaging and incorporating migrant and ethnic groups, particularly Latin Americans, in processes of urban change in London. Since 2012, the charity has been focusing in matters of urban regeneration affecting Latin Americans and making significant contributions to discussions on urban policy and migrant ethnic economies in London.<\/span><\/p>

Patria Roman<\/strong>, Chair of Trustees at Latin Elephant said:<\/span><\/p>

\u201cOne of the aims of <\/span>Inhabiting Spaces<\/span><\/i> is to delve into the power relations involved in the design of cities and how these are observed in communities that are less visible when thinking about inhabiting cities, whether in London, San Juan de Puerto Rico, or Santiago de Chile.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

J<\/strong>oselyne Contreras Cerda<\/b>, Public Programme Curator at Latin Elephant said : \u201cThis programme appears at a particularly relevant moment in and from Latin America, considering the political, social, environmental crisis in the region, which is observed with great attention from different places and territories, making it possible to see other forms of relations. Our aim is to open a reflection about the meanings and senses of inhabiting today, and how it is intersected with issues of infrastructure.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
