  Free Tr[Aid] imagines a future in which further budgetary constraint has led to the privatisation of the United Kingdom’s International Aid commitments. Through a mechanism of ‘Reverse Imperialism’, the UK invites partner nations to earn their own aid by establishing self-run territories on British soil. Located in the hinterlands between the North Circular Road and the Brent Reservoir, the scheme explores the development of an Indian ‘Aid Earning Zone’ in suburban London, examining the associated political and cultural tensions.


  Is a thin façade of socialist rhetoric enough to conceal the high capitalism lurking beneath?
