Black in Architecture® Research Impact Activities
Black in Architecture® Symposium
A one-day symposium and workshop
Save the Date: Black in Architecture Symposium — Thursday 21st October 2021
The event will bring together architects, educators, researchers, students, decision-makers and others. The symposium and workshop will recognise contributions of Black and Black British people in the field and promote discourse around the agency of architecture in addressing and dismantling institutional barriers.
The event theme, programme, guest speaker and workshop facilitator will be announced closer to the event date.
The inspiration to hold a symposium comes from Black in Design Conference, the Founder of Black in Architecture’s on-going work at /tap Exchange and her previous work at the University of East London (The Production of Place Conference and workshops, 2012) and the Sheffield School of Architecture (Ecology Theory Forum, 2009).
We reference the ARB’s ethnicity breakdown for the term Black or Black British. The focus on Black and Black British people is owed to the Founder and Researcher of Black in Architecture identifying as Black British herself. She is an expert of her own experiences and not an expert on race. Her work is driven by her curiosity and motivation to help build better and fairer communities.
