The Edgware Road Project


CAMP is involved in a 2-year "print-from-web" project, linked to its own investigations of the infrastructures of commerce and pleasure in this part of London. As part of the first "block study", we looked at several buildings and their ownership and use histories, and produced a series of tablemats.

The web-based part of the project resides at http://edgwareroad.org. ( now at Print.with.camp ) This website collects materials from various such "studies", conducted by us and others, which then are collaboratively edited and published in a number of physical forms: volumes, pamphlets and placemats.  This is an ongoing project, as part of the Serpentine Gallery's Public Program.

In collaboration with the Centre for Possible Studies,
Janna Graham, Amal Khalaf and Åbäke.

Update: the very first publication/ pamphlet made using archival material and our editing / printing tool was done in the St. Marylebourne school in August 2010. This has become a "relay" in which by now various groups, in this case St. Marylebourne School, Ultra-Red, CAMP,  Abake, have been already involved. This is sweet.

See Images tab above for some pics!

Update 2: An interview with CAMP on the Edgware Road project just got published in the Arab Studies Journal (Spring, 2010).

Update 3: www.edgwareroad.org is now live (July, 2011)

Update 4: we published our book on pleasure on the road, see side bar, entirely designed on edgewareroad.org. (Oct 2013)

>Update 5: www.edgwareroad.org now resides on Print.with.camp

A Passage through Passages, 2020

Video project that takes us on new and recently rebuilt roads in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and India. Endoscopic views from the interior of the road system, and of the interfaces through which pride, money, data, climate, and vulnerability are connected to it, heighten our sense of developmental possibility, failure, and the deep ambiguity of road achievements.

‘A Passage Through Passages’ is a collaboration with anthropologists, and draws upon ethnographic and archival work in five field sites. This film is part of Roads and the Politics of Thought, a 5-year ethnographic study of road-building in South Asia.

The New Medium

The New Medium ​was a curated programme for the Mumbai International Film Festival for three consecutive years (2016-2018). The inaugural program - in a twisted art-historical mode - framed cinema as a new medium (125 years old, when compared to the other arts), and scoured the century of cinema chronologically...
