As part of 15 Invitations, Solomon Benjamin, the Bangalore-based scholar, in collaboration with Hong Kong "critical geographer" Wing Shing Tang, co-organise a three-day workshop around artistic explorations aimed at "unfreezing the city."
Instigated by what the Hong Kong Urban Renewal Authority (URA) terms "freezing surveys"—aimed at fixing legal claims to spaces (and thereby people) to frame cities as stable grids—"unfreezing" becomes a way to re-think and re-familiarise the relationship to cities we inhabit and travel across.
