Discrepant Circulations Symposia

Circulation is more than a synonym for the zones where people or things move; it locates a set of tensions between movement and arrest, passage and capture, flow and containment. At a moment when a concern for mobility has become more prominent in architectural history and theory, it is time to think across the complex
histories of this concept. This two-day symposium aims to refresh attention on concepts of circulation at a moment of political uncertainty. The discussions will bring together an interdisciplinary group of leading historians, architects, theorists, curators, and designers to think together about the opportunities and hazards of this pervasive yet under-examined concept in the discipline.

Speakers:
Ross Exo Adams, Tim Anstey, Aleksandr Bierig, Craig Buckley,Jordan H. Carver, Francesco Casetti, Swati Chattopadhyay, David Gissen , Samia Henni, Francesca Hughes, Diana Martinez, Morgan Ng, Alena Beth Rieger, Kishwar Rizvi, David Sadighian, and Mark Wasiuta.
