In this episode series producers - Chantelle Lewis, Maia Holterman-Entwistle, Sharri Plonski and the inimitable George ‘Adders’ Ofori-Addo - reflect on the evolution of season two of ‘ Material Crimes.’ We discuss the incredible work of contributors, the arc of infrastructural violence across the episodes and the powerful struggles at the centre of these stories. Season two delves even deeper into the “true crimes” of infrastructure, with upcoming episodes on both the visible, tangible violence of military complexes, broken dams and drive-by shootings and the more insidious yet no less deadly infrastructural violence of bureaucratic welfare, environmental degradation and the complex web of international arbitration. We also discuss how Palestine haunts this season, asking what it means to produce creative and collaborative work during the ongoing genocide and how this year of acute traumas has shaped our thinking about Material Crimes.
