Deb Verhoeven first introduced the term *infrapuncture* in 2016 at a Digital Humanities conference in Oxford. In her talk she gives the example of the Greek and Italian cinemas that appeared in Melbourne before the invention of the video tape and the influence they have had over the influx and organisation of the Italian and Greek immigrants living in Australia at the time. Her research concluded that these small cinemas that only screened subtitled Italian and Greek movies led to an increase in migrant population from those areas. Similarly, the shutting down of a cinema coincided with the dispersion of the immigrant community in the neighbourhood.

In the following video contributions, Deb Verhoeven will unpack the term *infrapunctures*. She will explore how it is a useful departure point for infrastructural change that is benificial for the communities who uses them.
