Beyond Colonial Infrastructure

Join us for the closing event of FieldARTS research residency, hosted by the Infrastructure Humanities Group at the Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow.

Bringing a week of collaborative research and fieldwork to a close, this evening programme includes a keynote from Omar Jabary Salamanca on the archives of imperial and settler colonial development, opening the "black box" of infrastructure to trace unseen histories of labour, energy, and land across occupied Palestine.

We are joined by Bahaleen Collective, who will present practice-research on flows of water and oil based on their fieldwork on hydroengineering in Scotland and around the borders of Palestine during the Confluence programme, alongside ongoing efforts to map the maritime supply chains of Israeli occupation.

Finally, we close with a live performance from pantea, stitching field recordings taken along the Clyde River Corridor during the residency into a dense convergence of archival sound, site-specific composition, and infrastructural terrains.

CCA Theatre, 6-8pm, Friday August 30th.

Tickets are free but please reserve a space to avoid disappointment. Please take care to test, masks will be available on the door.

This event is funded by the Infrastructure Humanities Group, Dear Green Bothy, and the Netherlands Institute for Cultural Analysis.
