The exhibition Stars of Dar is an inventory of buildings and public spaces which play an important role in the city and represent what Dar es Salaam stands for. Buildings and spaces have been selected through interviews with key members and architects of Dar's society. Their ideas and reflections are presented and highlight directions and ideas on the shaping of future Dar es Salaam. Film portraits of 3 important public spaces, including the visions and ideas of their users, complete the picture. This portrait of Kariakoo area is one of them.
Stars of Dar does not claim to give a complete picture nor is a reflection of a deep analysis, but aims to be the spark for an ongoing debate on our beloved city, in a attempt to create an inclusive city of which the total is greater than the addition of its individual parts.
Stars of Dar is a project of the Architects Association of Tanzania, ARDHI University and African Architecture Matters and organised in collaboration with the Goethe Institute in connection with the symposium 'Global City - Local Identity? (14-16 October 2011).
This film is produced by Hypermedia, Tanzania.
