The Activation
Structures is the second exhibition under the Worldmaking theme, following Ecospheres. A structure can be understood as either material or immaterial. It might represent a body of knowledge, a social framework or an infrastructural system treated as a single entity and held together by a plan, a pattern or a guiding logic. The Structures exhibition considers the human in relation to the built environment, and brings together artists and architects from the South who explore how space, place, and race intersect in both tangible and intangible structures. Structures reflects on how materials carry meaning and how people themselves can act as forms of infrastructure.
