Description
This Is Not A Gateway (Salons) invites you to share beers and bagels whilst discussing HOW VERMIN ARE SHAPING OUR FUTURE CITIES
Which species have had close to a thousand years influence over our cities? What role have vermin played in key historic urban events? Why were vermin culturally and socially constructed as expressions of ‘dirtiness, contamination and the other’?
What changes has a pest controller noticed across the last decade in London’s dwellings? Where have vermin and pests been referenced in the arts? How do vermin affect London’s development process? What role will vermin play in ‘the urban age’?
The following compelling urbanists have been brought together to present
and lead the discussion:
> Alan Pipe, Archeological Zoologist, Museum of London
> Effie Williams, Pest Control Officer, Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham
> Ben Campkin, Lecturer in Architectural History & Theory, Bartlett School of Architecture
> Tea Mäkipää, Artist, Finland
