The latest instalment to the 'HOMEing' Online Seminar Series: Race, Precarity & Public Space - Erasure & Memorialisation through Space

Adnan Shafi will discuss his research into the relationship between race, precarity and public space in Cardiff/Tiger Bay in Wales. The Art/Law Network invited Adnan, a member of Butetown Matters and a law and politics student, to investigate how the diverse local community experienced the proposal to develop one of their few remaining green spaces for a national Military Medical Museum.In the webinar Adnan will speak to his research findings. Adnan’s research consisted of interviews he conducted with members of the Tiger Bay community and representatives of the Military Medical Museum. Rather than a conventional piece of written research, Adnan’s research output is in the format of an audio podcast. The &#x27;podcast-as-research&#x27; will explore the main point of ideological conflict: Britannia Park. It is the only green space left in the Tiger Bay area and an area of public space within the ownership/control of Cardiff Council which has agreed to a plan for a Military Medical Museum to be constructed on the site. The research explores the impact of this proposed project through the lens of localised experience, eg. from views that the &#x27;dumping&#x27; of the Military Medical Museum nobody else wanted is neocolonial, to it being a failure of effective democratic governance, to others who are in full favour of the project progressing.There will be opportunity for Q&amp;A during the webinar and, as well as feedback on the research itself, we would welcome feedback on podcasting as an experimental method of inclusive research. We look forward to welcoming you!
