About The Urban Playground Movement
All over the world, groups like us organize free, fun, all ages, public events. From a massive Mobile Clubbing event in a London train station to a giant pillow fight near the Eiffel Tower in Paris to a subway party beneath the streets of Toronto, it is clear that the urban playground is growing around the world, leaving more public and more social cities in its
wake. This is the urban playground movement, a playful part of the larger public space movement. One of our goals is to make these unique happenings in public space become a significant part of popular culture, partially replacing passive, non-social consumption experiences like watching television, and consciously celebrating public spaces in our cities as our “urban living rooms.” The result, we hope, will be a global community of participants in a world where people are constantly organizing and attending these happenings in every major city in the world. This project, Pillow Fight Day 2011, is a collaboration of many people who comprise a loose, decentralized network of urban playground event organizers all over the world. O Pokretu Urbanog Igrališta
Širom sveta, grupe kao što smo mi organizuju slobodne, zabavne događaje za sve uzraste. Od masovnog pokretnog klupskog događaja na železničkoj stanici u Londonu, gigantske borbe jastucima blizu Ajfelove Kule u Parizu do žurke u metrou ispod ulica Toronta, urbano igralište raste širom sveta, stvarajući i ostavljajući za sobom javnije i društvenije gradove u svom pohodu. Jedan od naših ciljeva je da postavimo ove jedinstvene događaje kao značajan deo popularne kulture, delimično zamenjujući pasivne, ne-društvene konzumentske doživljaje kao što je gledanje televizije i svesno slaveći javne prostore u našim gradovima kao naše "urbane dnevne sobe". Rezultat, nadamo se, biće globalna zajednica učesnika u svetu gde se ljudi stalno organizuju i dolaze na ove događaje u svakom većem i važnijem gradu u svetu. Ovaj projekat, Dan Borbe Jastucima 2011, saradnja je više ljudi koji obuhvataju opuštenu, decentralizovanu mrežu organizatora događaja urbanog igrališta širom sveta.
