A walk in and around drains and dumps in Ward 88

Tracing the journey of the garbage bag. The walk is rooted in the labor practices involved in garbage collection and disposal. It is an inquiry into the contradictions of urban life. Through personal observations, research and storytelling, our intent is to draw attention to the lives and experiences of the workers engaged in this process.

The walk is led by odour. The walk is a provocation. The walk is a call to introspect. The walk is an attempt to dig deeper than the eye approves.
