Film Screening – A Place in the City, by Gabriel Silvestre
A Place in the City, by Dr Gabriel Silvestre, from Newcastle University’s School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, features communities in Latin America facing displacement, segregation, and gender inequality. The film captures how ordinary people are reshaping their neighbourhoods – fighting not just for rights, but for the power to design more inclusive urban futures. Through powerful stories from Santiago de Chile, Rosario (Argentina), and Belo Horizonte (Brazil), the film weaves together compelling commentary with archival and original footage. It is both a tribute to collective action and a call to imagine cities differently.
The film screening will be followed by a Q&A session with the director.
