Centre for Urban Mythologies

The Centre for Urban Mythologies (CUM) is a research studio and platform excavating the im/material detritus of [Capital]* across the contested geographies of the [Global South]*. Drawn to the failures and fissures of contemporary spatial and visual cultures, CUM aims to seed the impetuses for justices, pleasures, and solidarities through open-ended projects and activations that are [Situated]* and [Convivial]*.

Established from Singapore in 2020, CUM deploys a spectrum of [Methods, Strategies, and Things]* to instigate critical reconsiderations of ideological and financial regimes embedded within present-day existence. Exhibitions, screenings, and publications are amongst the different tactics of knowledge production and distribution that constitute CUM‘s [Para-Institutional]* work. Shiftless and dislocated, CUM manifests as an ad-hoc ad-lib epibiont.

CUM wherever, whenever.
