Panti Bliss in conversation with Rachael Young
Architecture is often seen as something that generates boundaries, rather than helping to break them down. Social, cultural and economic inequalities are literally built into our buildings and cities.
In many cities LGBTQ life has a direct correlation with urban life, the physical and social transformation of queer space influence social relation of inclusion and exclusion. The discussion will reflect on the evolution of LGBTQ space and breaking the boundaries to inclusion.
‘Lots of what I do with my work is about making space for women and People of Colour to be heard, without being marginalised or fetishized. I want to rise above those who would threaten or demonise us, who would brand us as aggressive when we speak our truths. I want the space for those truths to exist in all their complexity and space for audiences to reflect on their own fragility or prejudice so that new understandings can emerge.’
