On the occasion of ‘Infrastructure: power, politics and imagination’, the ‘Reading Environments’ series continues under the theme ‘Deluge’ and will run across three Friday morning sessions, pairing art works from the exhibition with selected readings. Join us for the first session: ‘Reading Environments | Deluge: Inundation’
10.00am, Friday 26 April 2024
Te Pātaka Toi Adam Art Gallery
The readings this week engage with questions of flood, inundation, and the politics of infrastructure. Our conceptual reading will be ‘Accretion’ by Nikhil Anand. This will be paired with a ‘Floating,’ a piece of short fiction by Pitchaya Sudbanthad. Both will be read alongside Matthew Galloway’s ‘The Power that Flows Through Us’.
