UNCOMMON GROUND

by Halima Haq

A museum of archaeological and ethnographic discoveries. The site, like the city itself, is a palimpsest. The fragments of building and scars in the ground are a record of the processes and events that have taken place. My proposal aims to reactivate the site as a public space; restoring its original function but finding form in playful investigations of material and human agency. It seeks to re-assess the ways in which we engage with sites and objects that may be deemed archaeology.
