Second Conference of Modern Conversations of DoCoMoMo Sudan

Description

Title: Refugee Architecture in Film (online conference)
What can be learned from YouTube about the role of architecture in the lives of displaced people? This talk analyses videos from diverse YouTube channels concentrating on the everyday practices and lived spaces of refugee children in camps and cities, or on the road, in countries other than their homeland. Carried out with videos commissioned by intergovernmental organizations, news channels and not-for-profit organizations, the research uses film to study the architectural and urban needs and challenges of young refugee populations in different parts of the world. By proposing audio-visual recording as an archive to disseminate the refugees’ public and private spaces and stories in their new environment, it aims to be a step in defining some of the misconceptions around these young members of the society, breaking down some of the barriers as a step towards dialogue and celebration of diversity.
