A Creative Assembly: Black Females In Architecture
An informal gathering using The (African) Kitchen Stool exploring intersections of material culture, spatial thinking & creative practice.
Hosted in collaboration with Black Females in Architecture (BFA), a community and network for Black and Black mixed-heritage women in architecture, design, and construction.
A gathering grounded in BFA’s MA Research Project, spanning recent work in London, Earth, Memory, and the Spaces We Inhabit, and Accra, Women’s Ways of Knowing in the City, and future ambitions in creative and making practices.
Panellists will reflect on how this research connects to their work, opening up dialogue across disciplines. With ample opportunity for attendees to participate and contribute to the conversation too. In this discussion, we will be centring ‘The Kitchen Stool’ as an object; these were utilised as one of the ingredients for the Accra Showcase.
A part of the London Festival of Architecture, framed around this year’s theme of belonging, the event invites attendees to sit together on equal footing, questioning formal speaker-audience structures and drawing on diasporic, non-Western ways of gathering.
With delicious spread by an invited chef, South African wines, and live creative performances.
