Old Town Border

Topic: islands and borders, artificiality of Old Town

Purpose: making aware

Location: Viru Gate, (... + North Gate, ... + West and South Gate)

Audience: tourists and citizens Timeframe: Saturday

Intervention: Declaring Old City Centre in a banner across the gate as an Open Air Museum. Having there a table. Actors well dressed. Stopping people. Announcing that they need a ticket to get in and in future therefore an entrance fee will be charged. Today ticket is free. Actors fix a badge or sticker to peoples chest.

Actors: Kollegues plus voluntary participants

Material: banners, badges / stickers, table, suits

Involve: Linalabor, Uus Maailm people, voluntary workshop members

Expected outcome for us: interesting statements, seeing who enters, uses Old Town, finding out if Old Town is not for locals;

Expected impact: starting a discussion, giving a new point of view

Bad scenario: too many people to manage intervention; not been taken seriously, being pushed away; not getting allowance or being cleaned up by police;

Plan B: breaking up; not asking for permission; being friendly and following polices order;
