A map produced by Monsoon Assemblages

This exhibition shows a selection of the maps produced by Monsoon Assemblages, a research project in the School of Architecture and Cities at the University of Westminster funded by the European Research Council between 2016-2021.

About the project

The project drew on the environmental humanities, the natural sciences and the spatial disciplines to develop an understanding of the entanglements of the monsoon in everyday life, politics and planning in Chennai, Delhi, Dhaka and Yangon, four of South Asia’s rapidly growing cities.

The maps were mechanisms through which the project team constructed understandings of the materiality of the monsoon and the many mechanisms that drive it.

Opening night

On 18 October, there will be an opening night event from 6.30–7.30pm. 

Lindsay Bremner and John Cook of Monsoon Assemblages will discuss the maps with Tom Corby, Associate Dean of Research, Central St Martins.
