THINKING ARCHITECTURE
18 September - 23 October 2009
This autumn, Extra City will continue the series of events under the title ‘Thinking Architecture’. The program offers a broad range of lectures, film screenings, artist talks and workshops. Thematically, these evening events relate to the current exhibitions, putting them in a wider perspective and thus seeking to create a critical discourse in exchange with the public.
During the exhibition ‘Guy Tillim: Avenue Patrice Lumumba’, the critic Kobena Mercer (UK) and filmmaker Balufu Bakupa-Kanyinda (DRC) will each moderate an evening with films and lectures examining the legacy of Lumumba.
