Blended Intensive Programme (BIP). Erasmus + Programme 

The BIP programme aims to help PhD students develop new methods of collaboration and approaches to engaging with public spaces and common knowledge through in situ, hybrid and virtual action. The programme seeks to develop speculative strategies, embrace the idea of ​​entering the unknown and unfold the potential of collaboration in a truly international context.

A practical and speculative programme designed to foster collaborative practices, community and new approaches to urban space, based on face-to-face and online seminars exploring the contemporary urban environment, the commons and the creation of the common through interdisciplinary collaboration.

From the Barcelona headquarters of the Public Arts Garage based on the two modules of the Public Arts Garage, generated by Alexandra Rogan Toland and Martin Leibinger (Bauhaus-Universität Weimar) in collaboration with professors and students from the Universitat de Barcelona, ​​​​Concordia University (Montreal), Queen's University Belfast (Northern Ireland), Université Rennes2 (France) and University College Cork (Ireland) and developed in spring and summer 2022. It is a continuation of the various academic engagements and creative collaborations within the international Creative Approaches to Public Space (CAPS) spearheaded at Rennes2. Presentations of previous versions of the Public Arts Garage developed in the city of Barcelona are part of the ETCs (Espais Temporalment Clausurats) in collaboration with Idensitat.
