Constructing Realities Lecture Series Autumn 2017

With lectures and events about engagement, situations, performance, making, manufacturing and engineering, Constructing Realities is an exciting new series presented by The Bartlett, generously supported by Populous. 

Recent shifts in contemporary culture have produced an increasing overlap of practices, methods and approaches from the worlds of architecture, art, design and performance. This lecture series celebrates new forms of practice that explore the fast-evolving terrain, presenting installations, designs and events that provoke, critique and otherwise engage with their contexts and particular publics.

All the events in the series are free and open to all but registration is required - see individual lecture links below.
