About this Event

This event will be screened in Room 315F and through Zoom.

Thomas Aquilina is an architect and academic dedicated to building communities of radical imagination and collective practice. He is an Associate Professor and co-director of Spatial Justice at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. His current research draws on diasporic spatial experiences in both global and local contexts from downtown Kingston in Jamaica to North Kensington in London.

Abiba Coulibaly is a film curator with a background in critical geography. Her work focuses on democratising access to cinema as both a space and medium, exploring how moving image intersects with and furthers claims for civic and spatial equity. She is the founder of Brixton Community Cinema and Atlas Cinema, Associate Programmer at Open City Documentary Festival and previously held the position of Associate Lecturer at the Royal College of Art's School of Architecture.

The lecture will be followed by a Q&A moderated by Asialy Bracey Gardella.

The Diane Lewis Student Lecture Series is endowed by Elise Jaffe + Jeffrey Brown.

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required.
