Nonrepresentational urban drawing

Nonrepresentational urban drawing

How can we distinguish between and practice lines that commodify the cityscape; lines that cross commodifying categories; lines that creatively produce urban alternatives; and urban lines of violent destruction? In this presentation I explore drawing as an ethico-political practice and examine how and why drawing lines (which involves drawing connections and also drawing distinctions) should creat new bonds of solidarity to end differing and interrelated forms of oppression.
