The Podcast that Imagines New Worlds
This podcast is about how infrastructures make, unmake and remake worlds. Infrastructures are not just material structures placed into the landscape, but they profoundly alter communities, their social makeup, relations and natural environment.
We will discuss past and ongoing infrastructure projects and their impacts with researchers and people affected by infrastructural interventions around the world. In dialogue, we aim to gain new perspectives on infrastructures themselves and possible alternative, less intrusive structures that allow the sustenance of life.
