Reimagining Shadow Infrastructures – People and Environment Program Talk
Date and time
Location
Online event
Join us for the inaugural People and Environment Program (PEP) Talk with Ashraful Alam on ‘Reimagining Shadow Infrastructures’.
About this event
This is the first in a series of monthly online talks throughout 2021 on the broad theme of people-environment relations.
In this talk, Ash will be exploring the ‘more-than-social’ life of a range of interstitial spaces that evolve between, under and over deliberately designed urban infrastructures. How do these spaces afford specific performances and privileges to marginalised actors, specifically migrant women? The work being presented will re-imagine urban socio-spatialities as ‘shadow infrastructures’ to inform alternate infrastructural politics in unequal cities.
Keep an eye on @PEP_CUR on Twitter for dates and times for future talks, involving presenters such as Amelia Hine, Angeliki Balanyannis, Franciso Gelvez-Gomez, Bhiamie Williamson, Jenny Atchison and more!
We look forward to your involvement in this event!
Ben Cooke and Cecily Maller, for the People and Environment Program in the Centre for Urban Research.
