Event overview
Focusing on the theme of Urban Materialities, this year鈥檚 Urban Encounters symposium highlights practices from a range of disciplines - including architecture, archaeology, visual arts and geography - that engage with notions of thing-ness.
The interdisciplinary contributions bring distinctive, yet overlapping concerns to the investigation, critical analysis and theorizing of materialities within the urban context. These can include geographies of security and surveillance, bodies, surfaces, everyday objects, or larger architectural forms.
Panels engage with these concepts and practices through the themes of Sensibilities, Objecthood, and Disappearances.
