Description
Description | Studio South Zero (SSZ) is a solar powered mobile studio on wheels designed by Torkwase Dyson. It is a small modular architectural piece made from wood components, initially created as half of a Quonset hut. The studio is powered by an off-grid solar system with a small battery bank and is used as a shared space for artists, particularly those who use electricity in their work. The second iteration, SSZ_2, was used as a mobile office for research on infrastructural rights of Black people in the Black Belt, traveling from North Carolina to Alabama to facilitate community interviews and research. |
