Place and Space
For this experimental event during The Shape of a Practice, participants engaged in a round-table dialogue focusing on materials taken from their research practice, negotiating their conceptual and practical relationships. Participants include cultural critic Brian Holmes, artist, activist and researcher Imani Jacqueline Brown, curator and researcher Margarida Mendes, and scholar-practitioner Huiying Ng. The event is moderated by theoretician and curator Abbéy Odunlami.

Place and Space is an experimental format that asks, how do different materials from various forms of research communicate with each other? And how can they highlight their relations in a manner that enriches their trajectories, by making similarities and distances more apparent?
During The Shape of a Practice, the conceptual and practical relationships between research materials were negotiated by participants during a long-form round-table discussion. Five people from different disciplines engaged in dialogue around a table of materials taken from their respected case studies. Participants engaged with the materials in relation to one another, bypassing the materials’ haptics or aesthetic qualities and focusing on anchoring each particular research process in a specific place and for a particular reason.
