Exploring care in architecture for its 2022-2023 season, Flanders Architecture Institute (VAi) is organising a workshops series and lecture with a pop-up exhibition Intersections: Invisible in Architecture. Central to this thought-provoking series co-curated by Hülya Ertas and Luce Beeckmans is the question: “Who has been marginalized by or silenced in the architectural production?”

The first workshop in this series is about the social and environmental costs of construction, (migrant) labour conditions and extraction practices. It is moderated by Ken De Cooman (BC Architects & Studies).

The second workshop in this series is about the urgent need to decolonise the ways we do and think architecture. It is moderated by Ola Hassanain (resident at Rijksakademie).

The third workshop in this series is about the working environment of the architect with its power hierarchies, striking precarities and lost energies. It is moderated by Paulien Gekiere (Dear Architects).
