About this Event
Join us at the second day of the Arus Balik – Shifting Currents Symposium, where a wide range of panelists explore and discuss the histories of inequality and violence of contemporary architecture. It is part of , a collective programme on the past, present and future of the designer legacies shared by Indonesia, the Netherlands and the Indonesian diaspora.
Understanding contemporary architecture and design practices that navigate histories of inequality and violence requires careful reflection, dialogue and action. How can we find the vocabulary, tools and artistic languages to acknowledge these pasts, while expressing the futures we wish to share? The symposium, organised in the light of the wider Arus Balik – Shifting Currents programme, invites architects, artists, designers, collectives, historians and design researchers to contribute insights, blueprints, vocabularies and tools that might bring us closer to reassessing the futures at stake through an intersection of pasts and lived realities.
In four sessions, spread out over two days, invited panellists will offer their moments of shifting paradigms and currents. At the heart of this symposium is a non-hierarchical and multivocal approach to knowledge, analysing the possibilities of design experimentation when nourished by situated, local perspectives and innovative archival research.
