Lapa is excited to host, The House We Must Build / Musha Watinofanira Kuvaka is a scaffold for art and architectural research that draws on anti-imperial world-making practices to build and broadcast narratives of how we might forge other architectures together. From this temporary ground station in Brixton, Johannesburg, we approach the land from the sites and scenes of its friction against air and water—LANDFALL—and where, in the process, it is nourished by the encounter with weather, materials, people, and ideas from elsewhere.
This festival of ideas comprises broadcasts, close readings and screenings, curated by Thandi Loewenson and Huda Tayob. Each evening will present a different set of contributors, with the final evening on 26 February hosted at Johannesburg Art Gallery.

The House We Must Build is hosted through the Center for Planetary Pedagogies (C4PP), a free educational program cultivating awareness around environmental concerns through the integrated study of Critical Spatial Practice, Ecological Thought and Social Design. This first winter school offers modules facilitated by a creative cohort of architects, designers, movement builders, and scientists exploring interdisciplinary spatial stories to expand and reframe the way we relate to the planet.
About the convenors:
Thandi Loewenson is an architectural designer/researcher who mobilizes design, fiction, and performance to stoke embers of emancipatory political thought and fires of collective action, and to feel for the contours of other, possible worlds.
Huda Tayob is a South African architect and architectural historian with an interest in migrant, minor, and subaltern architectures. Her work extends to public platforms and open-access curricula which engage with archival silence and architectural ghosts.
