Marseille
Supported with seed funding from the University of Tübingen Excellency Strategy (2021-2023) and a grant from the local social housing agency, Logirem, the aim of this interdisciplinary project has been to explore the transforming composition, structure and relationality of social networks of urban dwellers along a highly contrastive street in Marseille. The purpose is to better understanding how urban social life is forged, represented and experienced across time, space and unequal relations of power.
The project has been carried out in partnership with the architecture and historian of urban planning, Amel Zerourou, and the photographer Abed Abidat. A range of methodological approaches were taken including archival research, mapping, urban analysis, interviews, participant observation and portraits of users of the street and the street itself.
