What is the relationship of protest and public space today? This conversation considers the rupture that took place in Zuccotti Park in fall 2011. How have new forms of dissent operated since, including in Taskim Gezi Park in summer 2013? Turkish architect Hayrettin Günç is joined by From Cairo to Wall Street: Voices from the Global Spring author Anya Schiffrin, Tidal: Occupy Theory, Occupy Strategy editor Yates McKee, and Common Practice, a collaborative firm that has created a temporary Inflatable General Assembly for the occasion.
