a reading circle on
place & decolonisation

for ‘What If?’ Digital Residency
with SaltSpace Cooperative
Online & Glasgow
2020–2021


In the Autumn of 2020, members of the public and SaltSpace community gathered in an online reading circle centred on practices of decolonisation in relation to place and architecture. In each of the six sessions, guided by Civic Soup, participants read aloud in-turn from scripts, essays and autoethnographies.

The reading circle culminated in the production of digital resource and printed index collating the references that blossomed from the practice of collective reading.


Base texts focused on the settler-colonial present and its residues in Glasgow’s built environment, refugee architectures of temporary permanence, ecofeminist perspectives on land use and cultivation, and architectural legacies of imperialism in non-Western geographies.

Assembled and mapped in the resource and index are links to the points of departure, further resources and references which grew from the collective reflection and discussion of each reading session.
