We've had some great #spacetoplace entries from arts and place-making project, 21 Artists. As more and more spaces across the London are privatized and fenced off, vacant or neglected, we’re very excited to see projects like this getting people involved in transforming spaces into places for creativity.

The British Council has convened a conversation coinciding with the launch of its new report, 'Voices of the People' which explores the role of arts and culture in relation to the seismic social changes of the so-called 'Arab Spring'.
Last week's launch of the report at London's Royal Festival Hall was an opportunity to learn about many points, including a timely reminder of the realities of the region that - amid the media storm and convulsions of regime change - remain in place; including the Israel-Palestine conflict, the huge social inequalities and extremes of poverty.
We were in East London last weekend at #TEDxEastEnd, exploring 'Society Beyond Borders'. With migrants increasingly under attack, through legislation and direct violence, in Europe and beyond since the global financial crisis began, we were heartened to feel a lot of youthful energy, positivity and steely determination at Stratford Circus, the venue where TEDx East End was convened. We were also struck by the presence of the cross-sectoral connections necessary for the social innovations needed in this space - academics, educators, activists, artists, entrepreneurs, public sector workers all in a very distinctive mix.
motiroti is a small part of ArtWorks, an initiative funded by the Paul Hamyln Foundation. Artworks aims to step change the quality of, and regard for, participatory arts activity across the UK. These are our reflections on a 2 day meetup of the UK-wide 'Pathfinder' parnerships, talking particularly about participant-centred approaches, connections across disciplines and new ways to sustain participatory practice in a tough econonomic climate.
Last week we were invited to attend a day of conversation around the future of Europe-wide collaborations to support digital arts projects.
motiroti, Oslo Museum and Centro Interculturale Mondinsieme have been working together in London to discuss and develop multipliCities.
As well as detailing the exciting projects we have on offer and in development at the moment, we now have pages dedicated to our services for particular groups and organisations.
We've just returned to the UK from a scoping visit to the UNESCO World Heritage site of George Town in Penang, Malaysia.

Do you live in, or are you visiting London, Oslo or Reggio Emilia?
As part of motiroti’s next chapter we aim to create value by connecting world city communities through arts and culture.
As part of motiroti's change process we are saying goodbye to our physical offices at White Horse Yard in Islington, London, UK - and moving operations online.
If you're a Londoner, we invite you to make a small contribution to Streets of Gold, our project running this spring at the Museum of London.
Streets of Gold has been developed by motiroti under the creative direction of Daniel Saul.
In collaboration with Potluck: Chicago, we have a new co-created artwork within a major touring exhibition developed by Chicago's Smart Museum.
motiroti is the 2011/12 resident company for the Critical Encounters programme at Columbia College Chicago.
