Event overview
Four-part public lecture series delving into the racist state-designed attacks on Black communities since their arrival.
Forensic Architecture Guest Professors Stafford and Kamara Scott, co-founders of Tottenham Rights, will deliver a four-part public lecture series over the 2022-23 academic year.
Guest Professors Scott will utilise a multi-layered approach curated by Tottenham Right to examine the context of present day manifestations of racism and conflict between "the community" and the state through the actions of the state and the community's responses and defences. The evening lectures are accompanied by follow-up workshop sessions in the afternoons focused on student participation.
The lecture series is a non-ticketed event, free and open to all there is no need to register. However you may wish to come early to ensure a space as the auditorium has a seating capacity of 120.
If you wish to participate in the follow-up workshop please email: s.schuppli@gold.ac.uk
This lecture and workshop series inaugurates a new annual Guest Professorship hosted by the Forensic Architecture agency and the Centre for Research Architecture, Department of Visual Cultures. Funded by a UKRI Frontier Research Grant.
