We are happy to invite you to the inaugural Robert H. Winters lecture series Resistance as Practice: Acts of Anti-Racism through Architecture and Planning! The event is hosted by the Dalhousie University Faculty of Architecture and Planning’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee, in partnership with the SHIFT: Connect conference. Our final event will be on Wednesday, March 31st at 7pm AST, and will be a panel featuring Dalhousie professors Jennifer Llewelyn (Schulich School of Law), Frank Palermo (School of Planning) and Ingrid Waldron (School of Nursing). In this event, our panelists will discuss the structures of institutional racism that they face, and the ways they aim to challenge these systems through their work in areas including restorative justice, community engagement and environmental justice. Please see the attached announcement for more details on the panelists and the event, and register through Eventbrite here.  

We have organized this series at a critical moment for architects, planners and other disciplines grappling with difficult histories and professional cultures. This means questioning how designed spaces are embedded with power structures that stratify our society, and how practitioners are implicated in this. Just as importantly, we must acknowledge that this is not a new conversation or area of analysis: racialized communities have developed their own planning and design practices in cities when they have not been heard by the faces of power. This lecture series builds on the ongoing powerful response to racialized violence by presenting the work of practitioners, academics and activists who have pursued these acts of anti-racism as a central focus of their work.

We hope that you’ll join us for this final event of the series!

We are happy to invite you to the Robert H. Winters lecture series Resistance as Practice: Acts of Anti-Racism through Architecture and Planning! The event is hosted by the Dalhousie University Faculty of Architecture and Planning’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee, in partnership with the SHIFT: Connect conference. Our next event will be on Wednesday, February 25th at 7pm AST, and will be a lecture by Dr. Vernelle Noel. Noel is an architect, design scholar, artist, TED speaker and the director of the Situated Computation + Design Lab at the University of Florida. Through this work she challenges narratives that have excluded traditional ways of making by incorporating them into the practices of automated making, investigating human-computer interaction, interdisciplinary creativity and intersections of these practices with society. Please see the attached announcement for more details on the panelists and the event, and register through Eventbright here.  

The series will extend into March of 2021, and featured architects, planners, scholars and activists whose work focuses on anti-racism on scales local to Halifax, in other Canadian contexts, and internationally. We will end with a panel on institutional barriers to anti-racist work featuring Frank Palermo, Jennifer Llewelyn, and Ingrid Waldron.

Spring 2021 Sciame Lecture Series – February 4, 2021 at 5:30pm 9 (ET)

Please join us for the new SCIAME Lecture Series, &/Or.  Mel Chin and Ronald Rael will discuss art and architecture, introduced and moderated by Max Wolf.

Free and open to the public – Please register for this Zoom event here.

In this online series, curators Viren Brahmbhatt, Ali C. Höcek, and Martin Stigsgaard argue that the traditional format of a single lecturer speaking to an audience sets up a binary opposite all of its own — speaker/listener, which simply reinforces the power structure between those who “possess” knowledge and those who “consume” it. In its place, the &/Or Online Dialogues will present two speakers in conversation with each other, moderated by a third. The series features prominent artists, activists, and architects from across the globe who will discuss their work and the unique political and environmental challenges they confront.

Mel Chin conveys complex ideas and themes through a mutative strategy, working alone or employing different disciplines and people, compelled by researched concept. From such critical means, actions, films, to objects are realized, as necessary. He is based in North Carolina.

Ronald Rael is the Eva Li Memorial Chair in Architecture and Director of the Master of Architecture program with a joint appointment in the Department of Architecture, in the College of Environmental Design, and the Department of Art Practice at the University of California, Berkeley.

Max Wolf has worked as an independent curator, and art dealer for over 2 decades. Most recently he held the position as director and chief curator of Red Bull Arts — a non-commercial contemporary art program, with locations in NYC and Detroit, which he founded in 2013 with the aim of redefining the role of corporate patronage in the arts.
