Occupied Ecologies:
Inherited Toxicity
2026 Research , Exhibition Design, Film.
Ras Al Ain Hangar, Ras Al Ain, Amman, Jordan | October 02 October 17, 2026
Tracing toxicity as it moves across soil, water, and air, seeping through landscapes and bodies, this research-based installation for Amman Design Week brings together distinct geographies, reading them as part of an entangled planetary system of toxicity in which materials are weaponized, tested, deployed, stored, and re-encountered. Through a three-channel video conceived as a fictional hearing, the installation invites testimonies from communities who live within toxic flows, confronting the often-invisible forms of environmental violence.
