COMPOUND13 - SONIC ECOLOGIES OF LABOUR






Installation view at ‘Space Between’ group show, LCC (London) 2020

As part of the Rethinking Waste project at Lab13, an experimental design lab and learning space hosted at the Acorn Foundation in Dharavi, I was allowed to document the very spaces and cycles of waste production and recycling in Dharavi’s 13th Compound in Mumbai. Embedded in an area of the city that might be described as one of the largest informal aggregations of (re)maker and (re)manufacturing spaces on the planet, I capture the sonic ecology of labour, (re)production and design of Compound13.
