As well as highlighting the importance of dialogue in non-western contexts. It confirmed the need for dialogue and conversation, and we would love to have more of these conversations in the future.

Both Dilan and Malab gave lots of insights into the Italian art world. We discussed a variety of topics like identity, representation, queer art, the future of museums, and alternative art spaces. Many points could be extended in different directions. That’s why we would like to have a second-round again. The main take away from the conversation would be a single phrase: leave more space for dialogue!

Ambaradan round table discussion 1
In the very first round table discussion, we talk two of our colleagues from the University of Politecnico di Milano and an interesting guest based in New York. Initially, we focus on the idea of launching a think tank, our manifest, and the feedback from the participants. In the pace of the discussion, we also mention the lack of critical thinking in our education. Since we all come from different parts of the world, we had a chance to compare our educational backgrounds in terms of architectural design and approach to historical contexts.
