Municipal Kitchens
The exhibition Municipal Kitchens, held at nGbK Berlin in 2024 and curated by the authors, explored the intersection of art, urbanism, and food justice. The show reimagined communal eating as a radical practice, transforming the gallery space—a former fast-food restaurant within a market hall—into a public kitchen. By bringing together international and local artists, collectives, and activists, Municipal Kitchens critically examined the injustic…
The Personal Is Professional
This paper examines the personal‐professional nexus in community‐based research to propose expanded ethical responsibilities for research involving Citizen Science. The article emerges from shared reflections by a UK and Palestine‐based team on research conducted by the Palestinian Citizen Social Scientists within their own communities in Ramallah between 2023 and 2024 – a period marked by devastating war and genocide. We foreground the negotiati…
Representing Pollution at the Agrarian–urban Frontier
The Beqaa Valley in Lebanon has become increasingly polluted, and residents are attributing illness to improper waste disposal and dumping. This article explores local epistemologies of pollution’s causes and effects in three films, which were researched and produced by local residents of Bar Elias, a small town in the Beqaa, which has rapidly urbanized as a consequence of mass forced migration to the area. We approach pollution in Bar Elias as a…
Towards a Relational Understanding of Vulnerability
Recent debates on vulnerability have considered how to best define and measure it in order to account for the various factors that shape people’s susceptibility to harm. This article reads humanitarian and development notions of vulnerability against the relational and interdependent view put forward by feminist scholars. Such a conceptual interrogation, which examines the broader assumptions underpinning aid programming, is especially relevant a…
Another Provision
We describe a participatory art/research project envisioning alternative infrastructures enabling food as a Universal Basic Service in the context of food poverty and the cost of living crisis. The four-year process involving people who have received food aid as well as food activists was co-produced with the National Food Service, a mutual aid group trialling new models for a more just food system. Modelling our creative research on this group’s…
Thinking vulnerability infrastructurally
The notion of ‘vulnerability’ has gained growing traction in a range of different fields, from disaster risk reduction to feminist theory. This increased academic use has been paralleled by a rise in the use of the term as an operational concept in humanitarian and development policy. Using the incongruent deployments of the term as a starting point, this article examines the assumptions underpinning definitions of vulnerability in humanitarian p…
Pluriversal urbanisms
ITY is opening up a platform for research and theory from and about places and topics that are, and researchers who are, under-and misrepresented in urban studies journals.For want of a satisfying and even joyful term that doesn't homogenise complexity or have an implied negative counterpart (e.g."Global South"; "majority world"), we are using the placeholder term of pluriversal urbanisms.Here we draw on recent works by Escobar (2018) and Blaser …
Introduction
In this introduction to the Special Issue ‘Infrastructural Stigma and Urban Vulnerability’, we outline the need to join up debates on infrastructural exclusion on the one hand and urban stigma on the other. We argue that doing so will allow us to develop a better understanding of the co-constitutive relationship between the material and the symbolic structures of the city shaping urban exclusion and vulnerability. Positing that stigma is not mere…
Your daily reality is rubbish’
Drawing on ethnographic and visual research, this article examines the role of waste in two areas of occupied East Jerusalem cut off from the city by the Separation Wall and military checkpoints, Kufr Aqab and Shuafat Refugee Camp as well as their immediate surroundings. In asking how urban exclusion operates on the margins of the city, we argue that rubbish can disclose broader socio-spatial relations at work in Jerusalem from the ground up. We …
Moving, Containing, Displacing
Disrupting movements, synchronising schedules
In East Jerusalem two seemingly antithetical temporal regimes are at work. On the one hand, access to the city is disrupted by time that expands and contracts arbitrarily. This impedes movement, makes even the immediate future difficult to predict, and disconnects many Palestinian residents, particularly those on the outskirts of the city beyond the Separation Wall, from Jerusalem in both the short and the long term. Read as a deliberate ‘deregul…
