What does it mean to float an asset? Our reparative research vessel seeks to traverse the Forth and Clyde and Union Canals, engaging with local community experts, questioning how Scottish Canals can repair and develop its assets in a sustainable and engaged manner. The reparative researcher-designers act as authors and listeners, drawing attention to multiple and overlooked uses, identifying their social and physical aspects, what might be at risk and in need of repair, strategies for doing so, and the instituting principles of each move.
Assets Afloat is an entirely collaborative project between Ruth Hamilton and Sigi Whittle.
