SEA CONVERSATIONS
BEYOND THE METROPOLIS
an online symposium shifting the coordinates of urban imagination
Urban conditions beyond metropolises in India have been widely viewed as inward looking enclaves of local economy, culture and politics. Urban life is considered to unfold here in the shadow of the globally connected and much sought after “world-class” metro cities through illegible property rights, social interactions enmeshed in primordial communal passions, the architecture of an urban form that lends towards social segregation and so on.
As emerging contexts fuel the explosion of such urban conditions, India’s urban turn has decisively poised towards the proliferation of small cities during the last decade. This series of SEA Conversations invites artists, architects, filmmakers and urbanists to offer provocations on how we could read into and engage with the multiple, emerging presents and futures of urban life, urban form and architecture beyond the metropolis.
