How we relate to orphaned space matters. Voids, marginalia, empty
spaces-from abandoned gas stations to polluted waterways-are
created and maintained by politics, and often go unquestioned. In
Loving Orphaned Space, Mrill Ingram provides a call to action to
claim and to cherish these neglected spaces and make them a source
of inspiration through art and/or remuneration. Ingram advocates
not only for "urban greening" and "green planning," but also for
"radical caring." These efforts create awareness and understanding
of ecological connectivity and environmental justice issues-from
the expropriation of land from tribal nations, to how race and
class issues contribute to creating orphaned space. Case studies
feature artists, scientists, and community collaborations in
Chicago, New York, and Fargo, ND, where grounded and practical 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 allow us to rethink how to manage the enormous
amount of existing overlooked and abused space. Loving Orphaned
Space provides new ways humans can negotiate being better citizens
of Earth.
