A selection of projects from ‘Trade Show’ Birmingham travelled to Colombes to become neighbours and colleagues of the various emerging forms of production and trades at ‘R-Urban‘. For two weeks, different ‘R-Urban’ and ‘Trade Show’ shops and trading structures occupied the Agrocité building to test and demonstrate trade as a range of possibilities for many to be involved in, and to establish a new local economy.

This exchange and continuation of ‘Trade Show’ outside of the gallery space is part of a shared action research into trade as a cultural space, between atelier d’architecture autogerée, Eastside Projects and Myvillages, funded through a new Collaborations Grant by the European Cultural Foundation.
