Cultivating Hope: Conversations on Palestinian art and architecture is a series of talks, gatherings and discussions — convened by Unsettled Subjects — aimed at developing an understanding of cultural production and reflection from Palestinian practitioners.

The first event in the series features architects and educators Yara Sharif and Nasser Golzari, founding members of Palestinian Regeneration Team and more recently, Architects for Gaza, in conversation with Adam Khan, principal at Adam Khan Architects.

Join a community of artists, architects and thinkers committed to dismantling the systemic and structural legacies of imperialism, colonialism and slavery within and beyond the built environment; together, we cultivate hope.
