Compound Terra Plastik ka Mela: repair, recycling, and restoration: an interactive exhibition of social and environmental works
No full textCompound Terra Plastik ka Mela: Repair, Recycling, and Restoration: an interactive exhibition of social and environmental works from Compound 13 Lab, Maharashtra Nature Park, Dharavi, Mumbai, India, 10th April - 13th April 2023.Participating Artists: Mamoni Chitrakar / Parasher Baruah / Ian Dawson / Graham Jeffery / Subuhi Jiwani / Amol Lalzare / Ben Parry / Abhijeet Patro / Sharmila Samant / Aqui Thami / Rahul KohlCompound 13 Lab is situated close to one of Mumbai’s main recycling hubs, where each week thousands of tons of hard waste are sorted, cleaned, and processed. Tens of thousands of people work in this industry: they make a huge contribution as unrecognised ‘green collar workers’ to cutting the amount of waste that goes to landfill and incineration, and reducing the region’s carbon footprint. Compound 13 Lab, hosted by ACORN India, explores livelihoods and alternative futures, working closely with people engaged in repair and recycling work across the neighbourhood. At the Lab, knowledge and learning is shared through art, design, music, media and citizen science. This exhibition brings together a series of works made by artists, filmmakers and designers who have been collaborating with young people, workers and families from Dharavi over the last six years. Dawson has been collaborating with the Compound 13 Lab for three years and presented his ongoing printing and portrait workshops. At the centre of the space Dawson, Parry and members from the Lab recreated a section of the Carter Road Mangroves to demonstrate the entangled relationships at work within the city. Dawson also exhibited works from his collaboration between the Compound 13 Lab and The Horniman Museum London. Presented by Compound 13 Lab in association with ACORN India, Bath School of Art, Film and Media, Bath Spa University, the Museum for the United Nations’ GLOBAL WE project, and the Protracted Crisis Research Centre at the University of the West of Scotland. Supported by the British Academy through the UK Government’s Global Challenges Research Fund

Cultural Hijack: Rethinking Intervention.
No full textPeter McCaughey researched, curated, contributed to and archived the exhibition Cultural Hijack: Rethinking with Artist and Researcher Ben Parry
From the creation of insurgent public spaces to the playful disruptions of public life, Cultural Hijack – curated by artists Ben Parry and Peter McCaughey – explores the role of art and the artist in contemporary society and offers the opportunity to rethink the growing field of intervention in relation to cultural activism and social change.
Cultural Hijack presents a survey of provocative interventions which have inserted themselves into the world, demanding attention, interrupting everyday life, hijacking, trespassing, agitating and teasing. Often unannounced and usually anonymous, these artworks have appropriated media channels, hacked into live TV and radio broadcasts, attacked billboards, re- appropriated street furniture, subverted signs, monuments and civic architectures, organised political actions as protest, exposed corporations and tax loopholes and revealed the absurdities of government bureaucracies.
Exhibition: Cultural Hijack: Rethinking Intervention.
AA Gallery, Front Members’ Room and in Bedford Square at the Architectural Association, 36 Bedford Square, London.
Accompanied by a series of temporary public artworks, events and performances, a conference called CONTRAvention and a comprehensive websit
Artist residency at The Compound 13 Lab: Part of the AHRC funded Rethinking Waste Project
No full textCompound 13 Lab is a space for experimental design and learning. Our programme introduces design and media tools, audiovisual technologies, 3D design and digital fabrication to disadvantaged, marginalised citizens who because of their socio-economic status do not normally have access to these resources.The materials and resources of Mumbai's recycling industry are the starting point for learning and teaching about ecological design and living solutions. The Lab offers young people access to these technologies through an experimental making space where issues of work, waste and survival in the 21st Century can be explored. At the Lab, young people are placed at the centre of their own learning. They co-design and develop a bespoke ‘living curriculum’ that responds to their issues, addresses their needs and aids their future goals. The Lab is an emergent ‘maker space’ and takes up residency within Dharavi, an area of Mumbai that might be described as one of the largest informal aggregations of (re)maker and (re)manufacturing spaces on the planet. During Dawson's residency a series of self portraits were created on the Labs 3D printer's and the spaces of the Gowdowns were mapped using SfM technologies
