Sažetak
The paper deals with performances and other bodily practices as generators of city-making processes. Its aim is to observe how different agents imagine, use and redefine the city by their performances. It focuses on art practices in open-air public spaces and analyses their power to transform urban locations. The author analyses how art interventions within a city contribute to the creation of senses of urban place. She approaches such performances as a means of creating a different “face of the city”, of highlighting or placing to the forefront certain urban zones or dimensions that would otherwise remain undefined and hidden. Art performances are observed in comparison with the city's official cultural policies. They are seen as ways of affirming, negotiating, but sometimes also opposing and subverting the dominant imagery of the city. The paper is based on the results of ethnographic fieldwork carried out in public spaces of the Croatia's capital of Zagreb in 2015 and 2016.
