The show is inspired by the work of researchers from Translating Ferro/Translating Knowledges, or TF/TK, a joint Brazil/UK research project. The TF/TK team are developing new ideas for how buildings can be constructed in responsible and just ways.
Episodes include two interviews with members of the TF/TK team. Episode 1 features Silke Kapp introducing Sérgio Ferro’s life and work. In Episode 6 Will Thomson talks about his time working on building sites in China.
Episodes 2-5, 7 & 8 are works of fiction, inspired by real people and events. Episodes include an imagined conversation between a planner and a resident of Shieldfield, Newcastle; a museum audio tour guide with a difference; and the reflections of a piece of clay.
