About this Event
In the third part of the series Dr Jonathan Silver will be joined by a series of collaborators from the GlobalCORRIDOR project. The session will focus on a comparative dialogue that will reflect upon the intersections of corridors and urban life across various global regions including the Mediterranean, East Africa and South Asia. Drawing on extensive fieldwork investigations the dialogue will interrogate the urbanisms that surround and suffuse the making of large-scale infrastructure corridors. Participants will explore the ways in which urban inhabitation becomes both threatened by and tied to these techno-territorial initiatives, alongside the emerging contestations, negotiations and navigations that exist as a lived experience within and adjacent to the space of the corridor.
The dialogue will be co-chaired by Dr Jonathan Silver, Dr Zhengli Huang and Dr Yannis Kallianos who will be joined by a series of collaborators from Greece, Italy, Kenya and Pakistan including:
- Dr Catherine Gateri (British Institute of East Africa)
- Wairimu Gathimba (British Institute of East Africa)
- Spyros Gerousis (Independent researcher/filmmaker)
- Dr Alberto Valz Gris (Politecnico di Torino)
- Dr Pafsanias Karathanasis (Independent researcher)
- Dr Hara Kouki (Crete University)
- Toheed Mohammed (Karachi Urban Lab)
- Dr Fatima Tassadiq (University of Sheffield)
