Resisting Current Barbarisms
The lecture series Resisting Current Barbarisms addresses how architecture and spatial practices intersect with urgent social and political struggles. In times of rising far-right ideologies, climate breakdown, and deepening inequality, the lectures examine resistance not only as opposition, but as composition: building new alliances, practices, and ways of living together.
Guest speakers from diverse backgrounds will contribute in different formats, including lectures and workshops and will engage with feminist theories, climate justice, activist movements, and practices of care as forms of resistance.
Architecture, as both a manifestation of societal values and a tool of power, can either reinforce dominant ideologies or serve as a form of resistance. However, the idea is not to simply oppose and resist destructive dominant systems but to compose, compose new alliances, practices and forms of being together.
Each guest lecture brings in voices from diverse geographies and backgrounds, engaging in open discussions drawing from feminist theories, gender studies, climate justice, hacker cultures, and activist movements. Together, with the students, we will critically examine the relationships between power, identity, and the built environment; envision alternative futures; and develop strategies for collective organisation, and transformative action.
To resist is to insist on the possibility of something different.
