Lecture and conversation between the Syrian architect Marwa al-Sabouni and the curator Mariam Elnozahy

Date: Thursday November 28
Time: 6 PM–8 PM

In connection with the exhibition Imagine an After at Tensta konsthall, a lecture is arranged with the Syrian architect Marwa al-Sabouni based in Homs. In her books The Battle for Home, Memoir of a Syrian Architect (2015) and Building for Hope: Towards an Architecture of Belonging (2021), she discusses the role of architecture in a society in crisis and how reconstruction can take place in the wake of long periods of war and economic depression.

Imagine an after at Tensta konsthall includes works by ten artists and architects who reflect in different ways on possible spaces and ways forward in a time of escalating conflicts that constantly leave new ruins and displacements of people in their wake. Marwa al-Sabouni will be participating via video link and after the lecture you are invited to a conversation moderated by Mariam Elnozahy, artistic director at Konsthall C.

The lecture will be held in English. Here you can find the lecture and conversation (youtube).

A collaboration between the The Stockholm Association of Architects, ArkDes, Architects Without Borders and Tensta konsthall.
