This forum will focus on questions of race in relation to the architectural humanities, including their interaction with design and technologies.
Curated by The Bartlett School of Architecture’s Director of History and Theory Tania Sengupta along with Megha Chand Inglis and Jhono Bennett, the History and Theory Forum is being revived this year after a hiatus, particularly as part of collective action on urgent issues.
The forum will focus on questions of race in relation to the architectural humanities, including their interaction with design and technologies. Reflecting on how these relationships shape or might shape research, design practice and pedagogy through inclusive, anti-racist, socially equitable, environmentally just and culturally nuanced approaches.
This online event – consisting of round-tables/ panels, show-and-tell presentations and conversations – is open to all Bartlett Architecture staff and students. It will enable the school to gather as a community and share the varied efforts taken that address such questions and consider how we might transform our practices in fundamental and meaningful ways.
