Are you stuck in an architecture vacuum? Do all your friends wear black turtlenecks and share endless Dank Lloyd Wright memes?
If you’re looking for a fresh perspective, then you've come to the right place. Over the next few months, the AF Young Trustees are hosting a collection of divergent voices, from disciplines covering public sector, community, development, curation, journalism, academia and more - all the speakers have one thing in common; they all started out studying architecture.
The seemingly predetermined marathon towards obtaining the coveted architect title sends people down a path which rarely leaves an opportunity to pause and question the direction it takes them. This series brings together those voices that at some point questioned their destination and applied their skills in a different environment.
In the second event, we talk to Seyi Adelekun, an artist, architectural designer and creative practitioner, Leyla Fakhr, curator, producer, advisor and founder of Art Square Projects and Catherine Borowski, artist and founder of SKIP Gallery and Produce UK, to explore what happens when you step inside the world of public art. We will ask them what inspired them, what they do in their current role, and their top tips for becoming an artist. Do you really have to be a tortured soul, what if you're just an architect with a dream?
#2 Public Art will be hosted by Young Trustee Hanna Benihoud.
