Existing In-Between: Spatial Precarity in Literature and Art. 2021
The series “Transdisciplinary Urbanism in Times of Precarity” emphasizes that times of crisis and precarity produce challenges to urban space, processes, and infrastructure that mirror and often heighten changing realities. Impasses in urban processes and services does not impact everyone equally, and are often contingent on existing social and economic inequities, as well as intersecting frameworks of marginalization. The series brings together distinguished artists, poets, activists, policymakers, and art humanists to campus, and engage in conversations around precarity and urbanism and outstanding proposals to remedy and address them.
"Existing-in Between: Spatial Precarity in Literature and Art,” as part of the “Transdisciplinary Urbanism in Times of Precarity” series, will reflect on such challenges from architectural, literary and artistic viewpoints with specific reference to the Persianate world.
