Media Lab
Engaging with urban questions through multiple media practices
About
The IIHS Media Lab anchors digital media research, production, training, and teaching at IIHS, and engages with questions of the urban in India and the Global South through different media practices such as films, photography and podcasts.
Through multiple media forms, the Lab has created a space for the production of tacit knowledge of urban cultures. Over the years, the Lab has collaborated with leading academics and urban practitioners in creating an audiovisual archive on the urban and interdisciplinary challenges faced in a rapidly changing environment.
