Why

Cultural Sparks goes through different definitions of culture and advocates for a political understanding on the topic: How is culture developing new narratives and ways of doing for local politics? What do cultural perceptions of reality, cultural practices and cultural studies bring to municipalism as a new institutional political activity? How can municipalism positively influence the rise and flourishing of a new culture?
