V Ljubljani se moramo resno pogovoriti o gentrifikaciji.

Pojav gentrifikacije je prisoten v vseh večjih mestih razvitega sveta, vse pogosteje pa postaja predmet polarizacije, saj ima vedno pozitivne in negativne posledice. Lahko ga razumemo kot pozitivno prenovo s ciljem oživljanja mestnih središč in razvoja turistične ponudbe ter rehabilitacije stanovanjskega fonda. Posledice tega so dvig zemljiške rente ter višje cene nepremičnin in najemnin, kar praviloma prinaša dohodek mestu in lastnikom kapitala, prizadene pa lokalno prebivalstvo, predvsem dohodkovno najšibkejše. Razstava bo predstavila raziskavo o neugodnem razmerju med prekarnim slojem mladih ustvarjalcev in med gentrifikacijo v mestu, ki jo kreativni sektor po eni strani omogoča in pospešuje, po drugi strani pa ga ravno pospešena gentrifikacija iz teh istih okolij izrinja in marginalizira. Vendar pa takšna gentrifikacija ni neizogibni stranski produkt razvijajočega se mesta – razstava bo načela vprašanje, kako se lahko Ljubljana razvija v bolj podporno in solidarno okolje za prebivalstvo, predvsem za šibkejše in marginalizirane.

Gentrifikacija ni niti naravna nesreča niti neobhodna nujnost, temveč družben proces, ki ga je mogoče regulirati, omejevati in ga nadomeščati z družbeno in okoljsko bolj trajnostnimi alternativami.

We need to have a serious conversation about gentrification in Ljubljana.

A phenomenon seen in all big cities of the developed world, and one which invariably comes with positive and negative implications, gentrification is increasingly becoming a polarising issue. One can see it as beneficial restoration aiming to bring new life to city centres, develop tourism and renovate the building stock. This results in an increase in land rent, higher property prices and higher property rents, which typically generates higher revenues for the city and for equity holders while hitting the local population, particularly low-income earners. The exhibition explores the outcomes of research into the uncomfortable balance between the precarious stratum of young creatives and the gentrification of the city, a process that, on the one hand, is enabled and driven by the creative sector while, on the other hand, gradually marginalises and pushes the sector from these same environments. However, such gentrification is hardly an inevitable side effect of a developing city. The exhibition raises the question of how Ljubljana can become a more supportive and inclusive environment for its inhabitants, especially the vulnerable and marginalised.

Gentrification is neither a natural disaster nor an inevitable necessity but a social process that can be regulated, limited, and substituted with socially and environmentally more sustainable alternatives.
