Iniva Talk: July 8, 2010

The exhibition focused on the way in which maps have come to inform contemporary artistic practice. I was asked to speak on research that I’ve been conducting on the historical geography of squatting in Berlin (I suppose one could argue that squatting promoted an alternative ‘cartography’ of the city). I spoke alongside Paul Goodwin who gave a fascinating talk on informal urbanisms in Lisbon (part of the Under Construction project).

For my sins, I’ve been youtubed:

And the rest of the talk:
