Adelita Husni Bey, Sitesize & Espectros De Lo Urbano
When Water Infrastructures Speak – Lecture performance and conversation

On 15 October 2024 Adelita Husni Bey presented at La Virreina, Barcelona, her most recent and ongoing research into the implementation of water controlling infrastructures in the contexts of colonialism and its contemporary capitalist legacy in Libya.

Based on archival research, oral history, and the development of a participatory pedagogical approach rooted in political theater, this investigation is presented in the form of informal experimental lecture, followed by a presentation and conversation with Sitesize, moderated by Barcelona-based collective Espectros De Lo Urbano (Nancy Garín & Antoine Silvestre).
