ASCA CITIES PROJECT

The 2022-2023 ASCA Cities Seminar “More-than-Human Cities” will explore diverse technological, social, and natural systems that mediate urban environments, with a particular attention to human and non-human agencies, and urban interventions situated at the intersections of a sensing of the present and critical reenvisioning of the future.

The 2021-2022 ASCA Cities Seminar “(Post)Pandemic Urbanism #2: Unfolding the Socially-Distanced City” will explore the socially-distanced city as a developing process that encompasses issues of cross-disciplinary, experimental and technological initiatives, while questioning its concerns, possibilities and limitations.

Announcing the 2020-21 Cities Seminar theme "(Post)Pandemic Urbanism". In response to the ongoing global pandemic, this seminar series will explore intersections between digital technologies and contemporary urban environments, from the vantage point of creative, cultural, aesthetic and political practices.

Announcing the 2018-19 Cities Seminar theme “Repairing Infrastructures”. In this seminar series, we will explore the city in relation to infrastructure, taking stock of its many failures and crises, while attending to possibilities for alternative material and social infrastructures.
