Uneven Growth, a two-day workshop at MoMA PS1, marks the launch of Uneven Growth: Tactical Urbanisms for Expanding Megacities at The Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition brings together six interdisciplinary teams of researchers and practitioners to examine new architectural possibilities for six global metropolises: Hong Kong, Istanbul, Lagos, Mumbai, New York, and Rio de Janeiro. Following on the same model of the MoMA exhibitions Rising Currents and Foreclosed, each team will develop proposals for a specific city in a series of workshops that occur over the course of a 14-month initiative.

The initial workshop features public presentations and a moderated discussion. The six teams each give brief presentations of previous work and discuss their preliminary responses to the Uneven Growth project brief. The presentations are followed by a discussion moderated by curator Pedro Gadanho, with guest respondents.

The event is free and open to the public. RSVP to [email protected].
