The final version of the zine features new cover design intended to make the topic even clearer.
In Convenience Zine

Publication
To explore the theme in more depth I created a publication where the interviews sit in broader contexts. I used a glossary of terms related to delivery work, like the gig economy and platform capitalism.
Installation
I created installations with all the interviews printed on thermal paper and stapled to kraft paper bags.
Poster
Inspired by Della Torre (2023), I created a poster depicting a delivery bag with an interview stapled to it, which I wheatpasted outside a closed down pub.
Thinking Through Publication
The idea of an exhibition catalogue allowed me to think through the publication and create different installation ideas, texts and keywords for the interviews.
Projecting
Last week I presented my iterations on receipt paper. One sheet showed a traditional 40-hour workweek and the other a 112-hour workweek.
Symposium
Towards the end of Unit 2 I had an exhibition idea where I’d use a receipt stapled to a paper bag to present each rider interview, both in English, and the rider’s native language, since most are migrants.
Cultural Pot
Food is a powerful cultural element. It’s in this context that community cafes exhist in London. They offer communal spaces for migrants who wish to keep close to their roots, and manifest their home culture.
