Museums face challenges regarding relevance, transparency, and engagement with their communities. Central to the process is a re-examination of its architectural asset. Nationally acclaimed architect Jennifer Luce presents her latest work — the $55M re-imagination of Mingei International Museum, offering solutions to issues facing architects of cultural projects.

PANEL DISCUSSION AND EXHIBITION PREVIEW
Wednesday 16 June 2021 at 17.00 (BST)

A virtual event featuring 5 fast-paced presentations with artists, designers and architects exploring the ways in which queer spaces are shaped.

From nightclubs to villages, bookstores to community centres, the 2SLGBTQ+ community has found safety, community and belonging in numerous visible and invisible spaces. These queer spaces have been a life saving haven for many, making room for a historically marginalized community.

Venezuelan architects from different latitudes have surprisingly joined together with their allies in the world, through an educational platform that seeks to "build and not simulate reality with an eye on the peripheral globe."
The program is open to students of all levels and from anywhere on the planet, who will have the opportunity to train in local projects, exploring the peripheries as part of a fresh and challenging context where new spaces of architecture open up.
The 2021-2022 cycle will jumpstart through a Virtual Community format, which offers academic credits adaptable to different university systems: a trimester, a summer school, an internship experience, a research project, or a work of scientific accreditation for studies of postgraduate. This is followed by an experimental laboratory in Central America where students will come into contact with sensitive projects in fertile communities and territories. And finally, it will culminate in the implementation of a project built in a community of Caracas, Venezuela.
The program has the support of the Global Research Program on Inequality, different universities and institutions in Latin America and the world, and high-profile professionals experts in architecture, urban planning, anthropology, sociology, engineering, and sustainability, who will guide the processes of the network, facing complex situations immersed in the fabric of the city, and will certify the knowledge applied by Dislocal.
