In the curators’ intent, the representation of activities such as farming, food preparation, play, and dance – as they take place in different social groups from all over the world – reflects in the creation of specific shared spaces that become, in turn, hotspots of stimulus to imagine new approaches to architecture and urban environment, effectively resulting in more sustainable scenarios based on care and equity, rather than exploitation. Using a number of installations, a group of Britain-based artists and architects transformed the British Pavilion and imagined a future where social practices are celebrated as they foster communal relationships.

SPECIAL MENTION AS NATIONAL PARTICIPATION
Motivation: For the curatorial strategy and design propositions celebrating the potency of everyday rituals as forms of resistance and spatial practices in diasporic communities.
