Right to the City: Art and the Production of Space
Thu 12 March @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Free
Round Table conversation
Speakers: Tiffany Kaewen Dang, Charles Mudede, and Bahar Noorizadeh
Chaired by: Angela Dimitrakaki
Bringing together artists, researchers and writers involved in projects of spatial justice, this roundtable examines how capital remains the primary force in shaping urban space today and asks if art can be a catalyst for social resistance. As a point of departure, the discussion will situate such questions in relation to the intellectual and civic legacies of the Scottish philosopher and economist Adam Smith and urban planner Patrick Geddes, seeking to reflect on and problematise their influence as a framework for rethinking contemporary urban life and its challenges.
