The European Capital of Culture (ECOC) is one of the longest running cultural
initiatives of the European Union (EU). The EU annually designates one or more
cities with this much-competed-for city brand. In various cities the ECOC
designation has caused tensions and disagreements over the decision-making
process, funding of cultural events, and the use of urban space. These disputes have
also generated urban activism that uses various platforms to contest ECOC
policies: public discussions in the local media, Internet sites and blogs, as well as
alternative events and activities organised by the citizens themselves. This chapter
investigates the conflict related to the ECOC designation of Turku (Finland) in
2011, which ultimately produced alternative meanings and representations of the
city. The study focuses on a local group of urban activists and their project,
‘Turku—European Capital of Subculture 2011.’ The opposition on the part of these
activists to the official ECOC designation was expressed through an appropriation
and alternative interpretation of urban space using online texts, images, and videos.
The Internet in general, and social media in particular, enabled the project to create
critical communalities. Drawing on virtual ethnography and a ‘close reading’ of
textual and visual material, I will analyse the urban polyphony and explore how
these activists challenged official meanings of the city and its public spaces.
