Cities Untold: Negotiating Spatial Practices and Imaginations

The lived experience of urban space in India is as much a matter of narratives as it is of negotiations. Things get done via fluid constellations of groups with an opaque, entangled, indeterminate spatial existence shaping political possibility. Exploring metropolitan and small-town India's lived experience interlocking materialities of land, water, economy and gendered space, Cities Untold assembles diverse works, treating text as texture and spatial representation. It combines first-person accounts to curate readings, films, media, and refreshes a 'southern urban' that is usually locked within predictable narratives of opportunity and dystopia.
