Placemaking Week Europe 2025 in Reggio Emilia will not only be a space for workshops, talks and hands-on labs — it will come alive after dark. The festival’s night program turns public and cultural venues into stages where music activates place, invites encounter and extends the event’s core themes — civic participation, social inclusion, spatial justice and creative placemaking — into communal experience.

Featured artists

MyAmy

Amy Cambridge (MyAmy) blends her work in social impact with a DJ practice rooted in Afro, soul, disco, soulful house and Latin rhythms. Her sets are intentionally communal — designed to bring people together and foreground wellbeing, joy and inclusion. MyAmy’s approach mirrors the festival’s focus on participation and social impact: music as a low-barrier tool to make places welcoming and celebratory.

Carmix

A true street and neighbourhood practitioner, Carmix began animating public space through block parties and local festivals. His global-beat sensibility — crossing Hip-Hop, Dancehall and Jungle/DnB — reflects cultural plurality and the idea that public space is a canvas for community expression. His set is a practical example of placemaking in action: activating streets and plazas as sites of cultural exchange.

Luciana Renner

Architect, radio host and selector, Luciana’s projects (e.g., Ciudades Sonoras) map the relationship between city, memory and sound. By treating listening as a form of urban exploration, her sets invite audiences to perceive familiar places differently — a direct echo of placemaking’s aim to reinterpret and reclaim public space through creative practice.

Kostrok

Kostrok (Adrián Lurbe Quilis) brings an emotional, narrative electronic sound shaped by Mediterranean roots, Berlin club energy and recent life in Mexico City. His 2025 album Casi Bien and the new live set translate personal cycles into collective dance-floor moments — connecting intimate storytelling with the communal energy of the club. Kostrok’s practice speaks to the festival themes of creative agency and cultural identity in place.

With these artists, the festival nights become an extension of the festival spirit: celebrating the city as a shared stage, where music opens pathways for encounter and invites us to imagine new forms of togetherness.
