Urban Future Initiative (UFI) Fellowship Program
posted by Ismail Farouk at
I've been awarded the Urban Future Initiative (UFI) fellowship, a new initiative at the MAK Center for Art and Architecture in Los Angeles, which is focused on contemporary urban issues.
I will be traveling to LA later this year where I will collaborate with practitioners who have furthered an understanding of spatial justice. I am interested in interrogating the kinds of criteria that can be used to measure and map spatial justice across diverse scales.
Ultimately my aim is to build an online mapping application, which will connect cities and practitioners globally, through the mapping of spatial justice and also as a means for mobilising a collective response to local urban struggles.
