| Title | Street Poetry: Everyday Performance in Budapest's Erzsbet ter |
| Summary | This project consists of an urban ethnography focused on performative dialogues in Budapest’s Erzsebet ter. This public square, located centrally in Budapest’s 5th district, can be seen as a meeting point for the youth of the city and is a distinctively urban space, home to a diverse range of people and social activities.. Most relevant for this, are those practices that could be considered performative and are most often physical and creative in nature. Among the street performing subjects include bartenders who juggle cocktail shakers, skateboarders, and groups of musicians. By dividing the square’s space into four sections, the purpose of this paper is to explore the different performative dialogues that emerge from the diverse uses of space in this square. |
