Summary:This book embraces the spirit of activism: one of its purposes is to question and challenge the neoliberal agenda for urban development. A limited edition artists' book, created with eco-ethical materials and printed with an experimental, three-colour riso process (commonly applied in the making of radical, activist material). With variations in ink aesthetic, each copy is beautifully unique. Founded in 2015, LiFE (Living in Future Ecologies) is an interdisciplinary research group that provides opportunities for academics and students with a desire to shift the way we think about and create our futures, by engaging with ecological arts and sustainable design practices. Pomona Island is a city hinterland, a vibrant, semi-wild brownfield area of land adjoining Manchester, Salford and Trafford in North West England. Escaping decades of encroaching "urban development" Pomona is home to abundant wildlife and has a rich social and industrial history. Now, however, it is being developed by, arguably, misplaced "regeneration".
