2019 // STREET SYSTEMS


A research project which documents, archives, imagines for, and analyzes the contested space on Calle Milan, and in the neighbourhood of Colonia Juarez in general. By investigating questions about who can claim public space and who can create political space, Street Systems presented an opportunity for dialogue which often remains suppressed in a professional office setting - using as its backdrop a series of observations from the perspective of a foreigner to Mexico. The project resulted in a softcover publication and internal lecture event.
