trans 39. Comfort

Zusatztext

Comfort is elusive and ambivalent; it can simultaneously create possibilities for emancipation and supression. As an experience, comfort is positional and can only be defined individually, but shared discomfort can be a unifying experience. The notion of comfort changes over time, describing and reflecting personal and societal values and concepts. trans 39 challenges architectures complicity in marginalisation strategies and or in greenwashing a building industry that contributes to the climate crisis. Comfort is used as a lens to examine public, domestic and future space from feminist, queer and materialist perspectives - both laying out the current situation and proposing new understandings to scratch comforts shiny facade and reveal the absurd infrastructures required to sustain our addiction to it.
