Join us for a discussion with architects working on material logistics and mutual aid networks, hosted in collaboration with the exhibition Constructing Hope: Ukraine which is currently on view at the Center for Architecture through September 3.
The first exhibition of this work in the United States, Constructing Hope: Ukraine focuses on decentralized reconstruction efforts, presenting the work of grassroots initiatives happening inside and outside of Ukraine. The speakers, Nataliia Mysak and Petro Vladimirov, will discuss their work featured in the exhibition. Mysak wrote, produced, and directed “The Human Chain,” a documentary framing architecture as a method of collective practice in the wake of full-scale invasion. In conversation with Mysak, Vladimirov will discuss the efforts of the BRDA Foundation team, who have been collecting and restoring damaged windows to both rebuild homes and strengthen a circular economy within Ukraine that’s disconnected from reliance on costly imported windows. Come join this special opportunity to hear first-hand accounts of how supporting locally can create a collective good.
