Evening talk Gates - Nina Alaily-Mattar 18 juin 2024

As part of the GATES project, an evening talk will be presented by Nina ALAILY-MATTAR, Researcher and lecturer of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and MaCI Senior Research Fellow.

State-commissioned spatial futures are not altogether new, however, in the age of social media, they are afforded a distinctive momentum by the combination of audio, visual, and textual materials. This presentation shares the findings of research about the case study The Line, a futuristic urban project planned in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Despite - perhaps because of - their fantastical character, the materials of The Line can be understood as constitutive interventions in reality and ones that can have significant and material social implications in the present.
