Library Session / Infrastructure Humanities Group

  • The Common Guild 5 Florence Street (map)
 

Design by Tom Joyes

 

Join the Infrastructure Humanities Group and members of the FieldARTS Collective for a participatory reading group related to the current exhibition, 'Myths of the new future'.

The discursive event will be hosted by Fred Carter, Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Glasgow, and will introduce a series of readings and recordings selected by the group, drawing from their own collective research around themes of temporality, aesthetic practice and infrastructural critique. 

The Infrastructure Humanities Group is a research group investigating the social, ecological, and aesthetic dimensions of infrastructures that determine lives and worlds. The Group aims to address the material needs of diverse partners – from community to policy to industry – and to make legible otherwise unavailable forms of collective agency and ways of knowing.

FieldARTS is a forum for fieldwork on infrastructure and ecology, focused primarily on tracking material histories of empire, energy, and military-industrial accumulation on the Clyde river corridor.
