Light Infrastructures is a project of speculative development. An initiative set forward by Chaal.Chaal.Agency (India – Colombia), to experiment with infrastructural conditions in the Indian subcontinent -while foreseeing its applicability in other contexts of the global south- through a design-research agenda aimed at the support of community leadership. The main inquest of this project is to understand infrastructure, not as a one-time solution predetermined by the establishment’s agendas, but rather a techno-political mechanism -manufactured by underserved communities- that are capable of triggering positive transformations in the economic, environmental, and socio-cultural realms, through the agency of participatory design. In the talk, we will discuss the overarching principles of these disciplinary developments vis-à-vis the diverse projects in which we have implemented them.
