About this Event
Join RIBA Photographs Curator Valeria Carullo to explore a selection of Modernist housing projects realised in London between the wars and view at close hand original photographic material from the RIBA Photographs Collection. This talk will also highlight the important contribution given in this field by émigré architects.
Valeria Carullo is Photographs Curator at the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). Her principal area of research is the relationship between modern photography and modern architecture in the inter-war years. An architect by background, she lectures and writes on both architectural and photographic subjects. Her publications include Moholy-Nagy in Britain 1935-1937 (2019, Lund Humphries) and the recently published monograph Richard Bryant (2025, Lund Humphries). Valeria has curated several exhibitions, both in Britain and abroad, including her latest Wide-Angle View: architecture as social space in the Manplan series 1969-70 (RIBA Architecture Gallery, 2023-24 and RIBA North Architecture Gallery, 2026). She is the lead researcher of the ongoing RIBA Refugee Committee project and in June 2024 she organised the related international conference Displaced Lives: Architects Seeking Refuge on the Brink of WWII. The latest output of this project, the RIBA Refugee Committee Papers online database, was launched in February.
