This event is part of the Institute for Global Prosperity's Director's Seminars series and is co-organised with Thinkspace.
This panel will discuss urban infrastructure as part of the public sphere, and as an essential part of urban citizenship, from the angle of both 'hard' and 'social' infrastructures. Irit Rogoff will consider infrastructures as far more than a neutral and efficient structuring and delivery of goods, services, resources and audiences - but as a form of bio-power. Suzanne Hall will discuss the social infrastructures along the high street that enable global networks. John Bingham-Hall will present the work of Theatrum Mundi on the infrastructures required for ensuring a thriving cultural life in the city.
Panel chair: Professor Henrietta L. Moore, Director of the Institute for Global Prosperity at UCL & Chair in Culture, Philosophy and Design
Speakers:
- Irit Rogoff, Professor of Visual Cultures, Goldsmiths
- Suzanne Hall Associate Professor in Sociology, Director of the Cities Programme, LSE
- John Bingham, Theatrum Mundi
This event is a collaboration between IGP's Directors Seminar and Thinkspace. It will be followed by a reception until 9pm
