Question Project offers a detailed record and analysis of an international art project, dealing with a critique of participatory politics in the urban realm. As such, it follows the deployment of "Proyecto Pregunta," a tool for community engagement, designed to foster the collective generation, visualization, and dissemination of debates in public spaces, through a dialogue-based, site-specific participatory performance. The book examines the four-year-long fieldwork experience of Mil M2—an architecture and art collective based in Chile—engaging with diverse communities, activist, artists, and cultural institutions in the Americas and Europe. The publication consists of a series of essays by an international team of sociologists, architects, curators, and art critics, derived from ongoing practice-based research that takes the visual and written record of these participatory performances as its primary source to unveil new discourses on the intersection of architecture, performance, and politics.
