Aude Azzi speaks at seminar - Spatial Practice in a Post-disaster City: Learning from Beirut

Aude Azzi, along with Dr Frederik Weissenborn will be speaking at a seminar entitled: Spatial Practice in a Post-disaster City: Learning from Beirut

This seminar explores some of the spatial practices that emerged in Beirut in the aftermath of the 2019 protests and the 2020 Port of Beirut explosion. Drawing on original research undertaken by the Athar Collective, the presentation discusses different types of practice developed after the blast, including urgent relief practices in the immediate aftermath of the explosion, practices developed to promote longer-term care in the community, and practices whose twin objective is to preserve the memory of the tragedy and facilitate conversations about a more just future. The argument will demonstrate how these practices come together to create a complex patchwork of resilience, mobilisation and protest, which can provide inspiration to other communities across the world.

The seminar takes place on Wednesday 28th Feb and is online and free. Tickets available via Eventbrite:
