Underline

Sareh Moosavi & Bridget Keane

Studio Description

In this studio you will explore the trajectories, flows and resistances of human and non-human agents in the contested space under transmission lines - the 'underline'. You will develop new strategies that imagine possible futures for these spaces and sets of relationships. Reconsidering the value of these important infrastructure corridors as connectors to larger green networks and discussing through a collective exhibition.
