Breakout! is a festival of work in the city, that explores the dynamic possibilities of a single question: what if the entire city was your office? Drawing inspiration from the shared office spaces of the coworking movement, Breakout! creates alternative venues for collaborative work outside of traditional office buildings by injecting lightweight versions of essential office infrastructure into urban public spaces. Originating in Lower Manhattan, Breakout! explores the potential of public plazas and parks throughout the Financial District to serve as gathering points for workers from throughout the city. From this hub, organizers fan out across the city, bringing satellite “breakout sessions” to diverse public locations. During the second half of Breakout! our growing social network will “breakout of Manhattan,” by turning transit into workspaces as we travel to coworking hubs throughout the region – in Westchester, Brooklyn, New Jersey and Philadelphia. ..........................................................................................................................................................................................................
