The way we engage with abandoned spaces holds significant importance. Voids, margins, and empty spaces, ranging from deserted gas stations to polluted waterways, are often created and maintained by political forces, often going unnoticed. In his book, Loving Orphaned Space, Mrill Ingram calls for a proactive approach to reclaim and cherish these neglected spaces, turning them into sources of inspiration through art and/or remuneration.
Ingram advocates for a holistic approach that encompasses urban greening, green planning, and radical caring. These initiatives aim to raise awareness and understanding of ecological connectivity and environmental justice issues, such as the expropriation of land from tribal nations and the role of race and class in creating orphaned spaces. Case studies featured in the book showcase artists, scientists, and community collaborations in Chicago, New York, and Fargo, ND, where practical and grounded work of a fundamentally feminist nature challenges us to build networks of connection and care.
The work of environmental artists who venture into and transform these disconnected sites of infrastructure offers a fresh perspective on how to manage the vast amount of existing overlooked and abused space. Loving Orphaned Space provides innovative ways for humans to become better citizens of Earth.
