Arus Balik–Shifting Currents Symposium Day 1 @Nieuwe Instituut harvest by Isabel Bruijstens, November 2024
Session 2 Diasporic imaginariesChair: Made Ngurah Amanda PinatihSpeakers: Christopher Reinhart, Setiadi Sopandi, Nazif Lopulissa
How does the existence of diasporic vernaculars impact the lived realities in the 21st century? And how can we view architecture and design as tangible reflections of these realities? Such questions lay at the base of the second session in the Arus Balik–Shifting Currents symposium. It traced the diasporic imaginaries that arise through an intermingling of diverging temporalities, traditions, identities and localities, while also exploring how such imaginaries are re-articulated through architecture and design.
