Violent Infrastructure: Ecologies of Displacement and Decay by Ariel Otruba on December 1, 2022

Violent Infrastructure: Ecologies of Displacement and Decay by Ariel Otruba

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2PM – FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2022

3PM

This immersive art experience explores the dispersion of war’s capacity to harm over an elongated time horizon. This is accomplished through attention to the attritional violence of protracted displacement under abject infrastructural conditions. Evidence from a feminist visual ethnography project in the Republic of Georgia amplifies concerns for the right to durable housing for the roughly 40% of internally displaced persons (IDPs) who have inhabited collective centers during three decades of intractable conflict. Included in the exhibit are photos taken by IDPs capturing the emotional and intimate effects of decaying infrastructure in the once luxurious, now crumbling sanatoria of the former Soviet balneological resort of Tskaltubo. These photographs seek a critical reimagining of more just spatial futures for displaced populations in Georgia and beyond.
