#BiennaleArchitettura2023#TheLaboratoryOfTheFuture Special mention to @ThandiLoewenson “for a militant research practice that materializes spatial histories of land struggles, extraction, and liberation through the medium of graphite and speculative writing as design tools”.
#BiennaleArchitettura2023#TheLaboratoryOfTheFuture Silver Lion for a Promising Young Participant to @OJeyifous “for a multimedia installation that explores a worldbuilding practice that expands public perspectives, offering visions of a decolonised, decarbonised future”.
Much at the current political and social conversation being had today is specifically detailed in WEB Du Bois book Black Reconstruction...So we started a Twitter book club and now you’re involved like the true comrade you are. Exciting! Join us on Sundays at 7pm cst/8pm est!
