Overview

From implosions of steel mills after the decline of the industry to the demolition of the community hospital in Braddock, filmmaker Tony Buba stitches together footage from his extensive documentation of changes taking place across Pittsburgh and the surrounding region over the last few decades. In his multichannel video installation, the artist records Braddock citizens’ struggles against different industries to deconstruct and challenge popularized narratives of energy and economic transitions.
