    Curating pop-up street food markets in London.
    (Routledge, 2020) Concha Mendez, Paz Maria Eduarda
    Explores how market organisers as ‘curators’ create street food markets in London. I analyse how their use of cultural and aesthetic knowledge capitalises on wider processes of gentrification. This curatorial work includes a careful design and arrangement of material, affective and sensorial elements, including the selection of food traders, cuisines and atmospheres to appeal to particular audiences. I draw on findings from an ethnography conducted in 2014–2015 at a night market in Lewisham. This case specifically illustrates curators’ decision-making process in the setting up of markets as a relevant practice in the generation of ‘tasted places’ of consumption

    Ocio y apropiación socioespacial desde una perspectiva feminista: el caso del Cerro Cordillera, Valparaíso.
    (Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Sede Bogotá). Facultad de Artes. Instituto de Investigaciones Hábitat, Ciudad y Territorio, 2021) Banda Cárcamo, Consuelo Macarena; Concha Mendez, Paz Maria Eduarda
    This article looks at the ways in which leisure practices crea-te appropriation of urban space in the case of women from Cerro Cordillera in Valparaíso, Chile. Using an ethnogra-phic approach, we focus on the everyday life of a group of women to find three types of socio spatial leisure practices: communitarian, personal and collective. The first type co-rresponds to women participation and work in the reco-very of unused space in the city like empty sites, ravines and ran down places that are being used as public space in the neighbourhood. The second type is personal practi-ces that explore more intimate relationships between leisu-re activities and the city, as for example, walking or using streets as viewpoints. Finally, collective practices are those in which women create networks of friendship and care through leisure. The article analyses the social production of public space by looking at how the personal and commu-nitarian spheres are linked through leisure and it claims for the importance of women practices and strategies of spatial appropriation
