This will also change

This Will Also Change is a public intervention and an exploration around experimenting with different methods and forms of public intervention.

Inspired on research made in Arles, France and Eindhoven, The Netherlands, This Will Also Change tests chalk-based graffitti as a medium that discovers a juxtaposition between the communicated content and the medium used: a material that can be washed away by rain or disappear with time.

This problematizes around historical conceptions around graffitti, since its permanence is normally seen as ‘‘harmful’’. This type of non-permanent, ephemeral and non-harmful interventions can be used in a time where cities are constantly changing and, at the same time, belong every time more to its citizens’.
