Learning to unlearn

Architecture accommodates cultures and people from all walks of life but it often fails to consider pressing issues such as social justice, ecological crisis and decolonisation over a dominant Western paradigm on architectural education and practice. The 11th edition of Arquiteturas Film Festival seeks to challenge this hegemony, by reflecting on these entrenched discourses within the field.

We invite audiences on a captivating cinematic journey through the complexities of architectural knowledge production and its societal impact, exploring how architecture can contribute to reimagining conventional forms of representation, questioning extractivist practices and dismantling colonial narratives.
