The City of Schwedt project was initiated by Dimitri Hegeman of Tresor & Kraftwerk (Berlin) and the Happy Locals project.

He put together the team that included me and Andreas Böttcher, Matthias Hamm, Ernesto Leal  and SALLY BELOW/SBCA, the main idea was to bring back life to a town that wanted to keep its young people from leaving, through at first asking young people what they wanted and then given them the space and tools to make it happen.This project was produced over a period of three years, with different people taking over different parts of it with one of the exhibitions takng part at London's Red Gallery.
