Shared households have become a common living arrangement for many young adults, often driven by economic constraints. While being a stage for the faws in today’s economical system, these shared spaces can become platforms for enacting disruptive politics, where concepts like common goods, shared work, and non-codified relationships come into play. The Southern Thruway is a video installation that weaves personal stories with political concepts, exploring themes of uncertainty, forced collectivity, transientness and unconventional love.
