Introduction
ANCB, in collaboration with the ZEIT-Stiftung, invites protagonists from literature, sociology, arts and civil society for a conversation, a reading or a performance about land and territory, the concepts of ownership and translocation, protection and borders. Some participants will also share their personal experience with exile, transit, inclusion and exclusion, longing and belonging, adding a special voice to these global, challenging and pressing themes.
This series is part of ANCB’s long-term programme Borders and Territories: Identity in Place, discussing the spatial consequences of geopolitical, socio-cultural, economic and ecological aspects of home, displacement, migration and identity in a transdisciplinary dialogue. It also represents a continuation of the project Transit Spaces in collaboration with the ZEIT-Stiftung.
Programme
Philip Gumuchdjian, Director Gumuchdjian Architects, London in conversation with Benjamin Tallis, Policy Officer for Civilian Crisis Management, The European Centre of Excellence for Civilian Crisis Management (CoE), Berlin.
In three dialogues within the In Transit series, Benjamin Tallis and his guests look at the connection between people and ‘their’ places and how it affects our sense of belonging and community in terms of inclusion and exclusion. In the second of these dialogues, architect Philip Gumuchdjian and Benjamin Tallis will talk about home as a place where people are appreciated, the resurgence of the local in pandemic times and architecture’s responsibility to facilitate community and a more bespoke utilisation of public space by creating platforms of possibilities that engage the passer-by.
