"Dabbawalas of Mumbai" at Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism

Short film exhibited as part of 'Dabbawalas of Mumbai' with Rahul Mehrotra, Michael Jen, and Rajesh Vora for this exhibition on informality. Presented as part of "Five Technology Commons: Moving" at the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism, curated Youngseok Lee and Jeffrey S. Anderson.

From the Seoul Biennale: "Moving is much more than an instrumental process of reaching a certain destination, potentially the most socially interactive of the commons. Hence, the walking city is the healthy city. It is an energy-intensive activity, accounting for a large percentage of overall carbon emissions. Electromobility, sharing schemes for unipersonal or logistic vehicles, devices with cognitive and learning capacities are now spreading worldwide, anticipating decentralized urban transport infrastructures with a minimal carbon footprint, new forms of social and spatial organizations, and new kinds of productive functions within the city."
