The rapid changes of the city through architecture, environment, economic structure and community have brought enormous changes to the daily lives of humans who live in the city. And these changes in the city have developed diverse emerging themes such as urban regeneration, sustainability, creativity and intercommunity.

How should the arts in-cooperate with ever changing circumstances in the city? What will be the role and responsibility of the arts to catalyse for present and future city and to engage communities in the city?

The Connected City aims to develop a platform to re-shape, re-explore, re-imagine and re-connect the city we live in. With the collaboration with artists, producers, curators and communities from UK and Korea, Connected City focuses on innovative practices on ever-changing societies/ public spaces in the city through various arts forms and digital technology.

Musicity x Seoul connects a group of South Korean and UK-based artists for a musical placemaking project spread across the city of Seoul.

The results find them aligned with a selection of spaces + places – old and new – which help to summarise these themes of interconnectivity between arts + space [+ something of the atmosphere and lived experience of a great city.]
