#3 Decolonizing Architecture With Sandi Hilal & Alessandro Petti, Lesley Lokko and Black History Month Belgium

Can and must architecture be decolonialized? The western-centric master narrative of architecture is questioned. All around the world new projects, curricula and syllabi are being proposed and implemented. Black History Month Belgium, the Italian-Palestinian duo Sandi Hilal and Alessandro Petti and the Ghanaian-Scottish architect, academic, and novelist Lesley Lokko discuss the potentials and contradictions of breaking free of the Eurocentric canonical categories that still structure the current narrative.
