Micro (im)Mobilities: Frictions and Freedoms of Movement
This body of work examines barriers to mobility through the lens of Mobility Justice principles.
Isolation is often considered an issue for the elderly and disabled, but in reality, all intersectional communities experience frictions to their mobility that manufacture isolation and oppression.
Using a series of case studies, I have explored the different frictions and freedoms that impact (im)mobilities in both disabled and able-bodied marginalised communities of Brighton and Hove. By using Mobility justice , Design Justice, Ethical research techniques and data mapping producing outcomes that highlight different aspects of how to create change through prioritising (im)mobilities to mitigate the impact of the manufacture of isolation.
This project aims to explore ways in which we can champion the voices of marginalised communities local to Brighton and Hove City, whilst also minimising the placement of the burden of change on their shoulders.
I have also included a video link to a Small Talk 10 minute presentation of a previous project that fed into this one.: Cards Against Mobility (see below for video). To view the full paper and project please visit my website (link below) and click on Projects – Publications tab.
