Opens and Closes: The Future of Edinburgh’s Histories

It centres around seldom seen Edinburgh – think gasholders, shale bings and quarries – and pans out, all the way to New York and beyond to the technodystopias we could end up without the development of new, radically interdisciplinary methods and the pragmatic, collective and organised action of concerned actors.
