August 16 to September 7, 2025
From August 17: every day except Wednesday, 12 noon to 6 p.m.
The kiosk is a place of encounter and exchange in public space. It is intended to encourage both residents and visitors to participate, to focus their attention on the neighbourhood and to encourage them to engage with their immediate surroundings. People explore, share, discuss, hang out, walk past, participate and "consume".
What it looks like remains unknown for the time being. It will remain true to its name and will only reveal the secret of its shape on the day of its opening on 16 August 2025 - and only in its initial form. This is because it will continue to grow over time with the help of its "customers" and develop into a multi-layered urban collage.
