Event: Parity Jour Fixe No. 19: Spaces of Disruption and Joy

10.02.22 | 18:00 | | online | Host: TUM Department of Architecture | The Parity Jour Fixe (PJF) is a platform with the objective to foster a fair, diverse and inclusive work- and research culture at the TUM Department of Architecture. Currently the Gender Equality Officers annually organize five to six events. These raise the awareness on supremacy and inequality regarding the distribution of knowledge, money, and visibility in architecture. They also offer the opportunity to discuss equal opportunities, gender equity and diversity with invited guests from other universities.

LONDON-BASED DESIGNER, URBANIST AND WRITER JOSEPH HENRY WILL INTRODUCE THE WORK OF SOUND ADVICE, A PLATFORM EXPLORING NEW FORMS OF SPATIAL PRACTICE THROUGH MUSIC THAT HE CO-FOUNDED WITH POOJA AGRAWAL. THROUGH EXPERIMENTING WITH A RANGE OF PROJECTS IN DIFFERENT MEDIA, DESIGNERS AND URBANISTS POOJA AND JOSEPH DEBATE ISSUES OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOP ALTERNATIVE SPACE FOR THE FUTURE THAT SPECULATE ON HOW TO MAKE CHANGE. THIS IS ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED WITH LYRICAL TIPS AND MUSIC. LEADING THE DISCUSSION WILL BE TONDERAI KOSCHKE AND SARAH MAAFI, BOTH MA ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS AT TUM, WHO ARE CURRENTLY TEACHING A MODULE CALLED “DECOLONISE! CONTINUITIES AND INTERVENTIONS” IN WHICH STUDENTS DEVELOP CURATORIAL INTERVENTIONS TO UNEARTH AND MAKE VISIBLE TRACES OF COLONIALISM IN GERMAN CITIES AND THEIR BUILDINGS.
