This paper examines conventional actor-object dichotomy and seeks to establish a new framework of a collective of people, things, and phenomena whereby multiple actors and spaces create citizen knowledge. Citizens and others who seek to breathe new life into the city and its neighborhoods; people who are concerned about their municipalities; “things” such as the city's “memory,” its roads; “phenomena” such as its festivals, and its events—these are all components of a gestalt “actor” in this project. Observing the way seemingly disparate people and things act will surely highlight their common traits and open up possibilities for greater cooperation. The framework used to throw light on the foregoing is cultural editing. Herein, the view that only people can be the actors of adaptation is rejected; artists, their supporters, and the people who care for them are all deemed actors, and the overlapping and collectivity of their memories and thoughts coincide with the art generated.
