Transversal Alliances:
Architecture, Anthropology, Filmmaking and Performance
Architectural Association, London, United Kingdom
The Transversal Alliances symposium takes the process-oriented, transdisciplinary approach explored in Ripple Ripple Rippling as its starting point while going beyond the specific Chinese context.
In a world where debates are becoming increasingly divisive, transversal alliances are needed more than ever to defy flattened narrative and reductive abstraction. Through presentations, conversations, screenings and performative sections, this symposium shares boundary-pushing practices across architecture, anthropology, filmmaking and performance. Grounded in the complex, messy realities of life, this gathering charts ways of confronting the fractured, disjunctive conditions of all our existences, while affirming how one’s life is intricately connected to another.
