Creativity is a common feature of human nature. Developed in a network, within local communities and in a participatory way, creativity is the key to social transformation.
In this issue of Alter-, dedicated to alternative forms of production, António Gorgel Pinto and Paula Reaes Pinto address participatory design, community-based art, and artistic and production forms whose main focus is the creation of bonds between people. The British architecture collective Assemble and artist Rigo 23 are the guests of this issue.
