Papers: Festival of the Art and Architecture of the Refugee Crisis
The refugee crisis is an ongoing challenge for designers, and is going to be one of the hottest topics during the Venice Architecture Biennale next week. LFA will continue this debate with a one-day festival examining the creative culture that has emerged from refugee camps across Europe, and the lessons that can be learned from it. Curated by former Cass dean Robert Mull, the event is described as "part festival, part academic conference, part village fete" and will take place at London's Barbican. Participants also include the Worldwide Tribe charity, artist Alpha, architectural historian Joseph Rykwert, Syrian architect Marwa al-Sabouni, Grainne Hassett of the Calais Builds initiative and Architecture Foundation deputy director Phineas Harper.
