Sessions on Territory
Climate Anxiety and Mobilising in Crisis
Climate

SESSIONS ON TERRITORY is a series of public debates on the political economy of architecture and territory. The forthcoming series aims to understand how people perceive their position—their contributions, vulnerabilities, complicities, and anxieties—in the face of the climate crisis. Shifting analysis between the planetary scale and that of the body, we will ask in what ways do built environments structure and reflect the ways we mobilize against the effects of crisis. Each guest speaker’s intervention will be followed by a roundtable discussion with invited respondents, students, and members of the audience.
