BACKGROUND

Urban Knights provokes and promotes practical approaches to urban 
governance and city living by bringing together people who are actively 
producing alternatives to our given city infrastructures, norms and 
perceptions.

To date Urban Knights has taken place in Dublin, Berlin and Vienna with 
speakers from across Europe, US, India and Australia presenting their 
work and workshops covering topics such as Unpleasant Design, Feral 
Trade and Internet Politics.

MARCH EDITION

The March edition focuses on collective and craft practices within urban 
contexts, with a focus on crowdwork and crowdsourcing platforms for 
design, collective urban activism and the nuances of setting up your own 
digital craft studio and the communities, which emerge from it.

Drawing together speakers from the fields of journalism and design, 
culture and urban planning and sonic hardware each speaker will present 
for 10-mins with the conversation focusing on production cycles, design 
motivations and different forms of collaborative development from the 
studio table to the community setting.

Speakers:

Florian Alexander Schmidt [DE]

implications of crowdwork and crowdfunding platforms within the design 
industry

André Gonçalves [PT]

based company and lessons learnt from the past seven years

Gilly Karjevsky [IL/DE]
