A Vast Neoliberal Zion: A Drift Through Hudson Yards


A drift is a guided, experimental journey through an urban landscape. Not quite a guided tour, and not totally a performance, but something in between. Drifting can break our routine interactions with urban spaces introduce new ways of thinking and being in cities.

This drift through Hudson Yards included poetry, a quiz show round, a photo scavenger hunt and a re-mapping activity. 

On this drift through Hudson Yards it is important to remember:

  • Hudson Yards is not a neighborhood. 
  • Hudson Yards is not a shopping mall.
  • Hudson Yards is not an office or a residence.
  • Hudson Yards is not a tourist attraction.

Hudson Yards is a monument to neoliberalism.
