Culture editor Rob Bound will be in conversation with art rebel Beatie Wolfe about her LDB installation 'imPRINTING'. The pioneering project takes you inside the artist's brain via a unique sonic self-portrait and 'thinking cap' to explore its many channels of collaborations, conversations, music, memory, dreams and fears.  

Speakers: Beatie Wolfe, Artist; Rob Bound, Monocle Magazine 


CREATING SPACES OF CALM IN TIMES OF DISPLACEMENT
22 June, 18:00 - 19:00
Location: Screening Room, Somerset House
Tickets: £5

How can architects #design both for humanity and the environment? When it comes to urban planning, political buildings and structures need emotional sensitivity. Focusing on Snøhetta's latest collaborative project for the French asylum courts, National Court of Asylum and the Administrative Court of Montreuil, this conversation will look at how #design and architecture can effectively offer places of calm during turmoil. What do collaborations between administrative courts, engineers and architects look like? How can goals be aligned to benefit the city and the people in it?

Speakers: Dr Romola Sanyal, LSE; Kjetil Trædal Thorsen, Snøhetta
