Love, relationship, agency, affinity, proximity, positioning, doubt. What does an architectural practice committed to social and spatial justice look like? This is the question that Solidarity asks. The answer may reside in a practice that is grounded in love and care: care for Country, love for others. But practice is difficult and so is love. They are easily distracted. They resist perfection. They are never complete. So where to begin? Positioning: who we are and where we fit. Not at the centre of a dizzying world, but in the milky constellation of revealing relationships.
