How can art and storytelling help us to make sense of infrastructures as concrete and symbolic systems? How do we map the social, cultural, and imaginative aspects of infrastructure?
Giada Peterle is a visual artist, comics author, and urban walker, and author of Comics as a Research Practice (2021). Her work explores how arts-based and narrative approaches can expand the ways we think through and with infrastructures. She experiments with creative mapping practices that include comic book cartographies and geoGraphic narratives.
In this talk, Giada presents a series of urban experiments that use comics, autoethnography, walking, and photography as methods for telling infrastructural stories. The event was hosted by the Thinking Through Infrastructure Network on 29 October 2025. A selection of images from Giada’s talk are available to view on TTiN’s Instagram page @TTinfraNetwork.
