Struggle for Spatial Justice
Marjetica Potrč
Slovenian, born 1953
2005–2007
An ink-and-marker on paper sketch by Marjetica Potrč that provocatively imagines a bright pink gated community floating offshore to call attention to spatial inequality and contested urban futures.
You immediately see a compact, cartoonlike magenta structure set on a patch of vivid blue water, rendered in loose black marker with hand-lettered slogans—turning the quick drawing into a blunt political provocation about exclusion.
Working at the intersection of architecture and activism, Potrč uses this small drawing to make visible how privatization and social exclusion can be projected into imagined landscapes, prompting discussion about alternative urban and territorial arrangements.
