An event of the Decolonizing Architecture Advanced Course at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm, including guest speakers Nadira Omarjee and Shahram Khosravi.
What does decolonization mean in a predominately white institution? How can institutions change to reflect the demographics in society? How can cultural institutions become more inclusive challenging the hegemonic positionings of society, attracting those that are historically marginalised? How can access to education become genuinely public?
These are some of the questions that Nadira Omarjee, Senior Researcher at the Nordic Africa Institute on the Africa Scholar Programme at Uppsala University, and Shahram Khosravi, Professor of Social Anthropology at Stockholm University, will use as a point of departure in their conversation with the students of the Decolonizing Architecture Advanced Course at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. The conversation is introduced and moderated by Alessandro Petti, Professor of Architecture and Social Justice.
