The workshop series investigates urban industrial entanglements as sites of endurance, renewal and care. Instead of thinking in dual categories such as industrial versus postindustrial cities or new versus old cities, organizers of the event propose to investigate those entanglements as situated relational spaces, which are dynamic and controversial, and at the same time sedimented in and from specific cultural and historical contexts.
NB! The first workshop will be held online from Thursday to Friday, on March 18-19. Please register via info@cityindustries.org – both ZOOM-link and readings will be sent out before the event.
