Building Solidarity: Curating and Architecture in Zones of Conflict
4/1/2025


Current RU curators in residence Bamberger & Kenanoglu engage together in a discussion that explores how architecture, as a spatial and social practice, can expand the field of curating in conflict zones. A main focus of their talk is the recent exhibition Divine Violence curated by Kenanoğlu at apexart and the exploration of strategies of curatorial engagement with violence and how to evade its reproduction, romanticization, or fetishization—building trust, friendship, and solidarity.
