Ruhul and Ama will discuss their practices and projects, introducing some of the contexts they engage with and the collectives they have worked with. Their work spans discussions of race, queerness, ecology and cities, and they have both been involved in setting up QTIABPOC night spaces and art platforms in London, such as The Batty Mama and Odbhut.
Ama will read from a new story in Architectural Review, and Ruhul will talk about his life drawing and about Paraa, the architecture and design studio he co-founded which uses multi-disciplinary and community-led approaches.
Hosted by Prof Ben Campkin and Claire Tunnacliffe on behalf of B.Queer, The Bartlett's queer network for staff and students.
