dušan martinčok: susedia na dvore

Prezentácia Dušana Martinčoka na konferencii Mesto pre ľudí, ľudia pre mesto, ktorá sa konala od 24/3 do 27/3 v priestoroch KC Dunaj. --- Býva pri Žilinskej v Starom meste od roku 2000. Vždy sa mu to miesto páčilo. Od istej chvíle mu ale začal prekážať chlad vo vzťahoch medzi ľuďmi, ktorí tu zdieľajú spoločný priestor. Pred troma rokmi si s niekoľkými susedmi povedali, že ho skúsia prelomiť a zorganizovali Párty na dvore. Odvtedy je na dvore celkom čulo, Párty na dvore je dvakrát do roka, pribudlo Kino na dvore, Bazár na dvore či Susedský bookclub. Samozrejme nijaký raj na zemi nenastal, mnohí ich aktivity považujú za zbytočné, a aj susedské konflikty stále existujú. Riešia sa však o niečo ľahšie, keď sa ľudia poznajú podľa mena, a čo-to o sebe vedia. Asi je to aj o dôvere. Pred troma rokmi u nich na dvore nikto prádlo nesušil. Teraz tam povieva skoro každý deň. --- He has been living close to Žilinská street in the Old town borough of Bratislava since 2000. Dušan has always liked this place. At some point though, he began to see the coldness in relations between people, sharing the common space, as a problem. Three years ago, he and some neighbours decided to break the ice and organise the “Party in the Yard”. Ever since, their yard is lively, not only thanks to the, Party in the Yard twice a year, but also Cinema in the Yard, Bazzar in the Yard or Neighbour Bookclub. They have learnt to use the space of the yard and have slightly adjust it, as well. It is no paradise on earth, of course, many consider these activities pointless, and they haven't prevented neighbour conflicts neither. The conflicts are, however, easier to solve because people know each other better. It's about trust. Three years ago, no one used to dry their laundry in the yard. Now, you can see it almost every day.
