Adrian Lahoud – Rights of Future Generations

LECTURE TITLE: Rights of Future Generations

 

Extractive relations between beings are reinforced by the social, technical and mental ecologies we inhabit, and that we continue to unthinkingly and unfeelingly reproduce. Yet, alternative perspectives courageously struggle to survive everywhere we turn. The Sharjah Architecture Triennial invited projects formed out of existing and newly aligned collaborations among architects, artists, engineers, activists, performers, choreographers, scientists, musicians, and anthropologists. Their stories indicate enduring sites of experimentation against extractive social orders that set out to rethink fundamental questions about architecture and its power to create and sustain alternative modes of existence.
