M HKA and e-flux Architecture New Silk Roads
M HKA is collaborating with e-flux Architecture to commission a series of texts for their New Silk Roads publication in conjunction with the exhibition The Geopolitics of Infrastructure — Contemporary Perspectives. New Silk Roads considers the social, ecological and geopolitical ramifications of major new national and trans-national infrastructure projects. Eight artists, researchers and philosophers have been invited by M HKA and e-flux Architecture, and the resulting series of texts and interviews will be published on e-flux Architecture over the course of summer 2025.
New Silk Roads is a project by e-flux Architecture in collaboration with M HKA (2025); the Critical Media Lab at the Basel Academy of Art and Design FHNW and Noema Magazine (2024); and Aformal Academy with the support of Design Trust and Digital Earth (2020).
