School’s Out! #52 with Kenny Cupers
Lezing / Debat
Every last Friday of the month the Independent School for the City celebrates the start of the weekend with a public lecture. For this evening we’ve invited Kenny Cupers, Professor of Architectural History and Urban Studies at the University of Basel, where he co-founded and leads the Urban Studies division since 2015. Trained as an architect, urbanist, and historian, he works on the relationship between built environments and social change in African and European contexts.
Kenny Cupers will talk about his historical and collaborative research in Kenya, exploring the planetary politics of design, the coloniality of infrastructure, and African worldmaking.
