About

This panel explores how craft practices across times and places could contribute to rejuvenated, dynamic and critical places and spaces in our built environment. Through materiality, technique, and equitable exchange, craft can inscribe and re-inscribe memories and meaning reflecting hybrid and diverse heritages and identities.

Chair: Dr Neal Shasore, Founder, The School of Building CIC and the City Craft programme

Panelists include:
Ben Bolgar MVO, Executive Director, The King’s Foundation
Daniel Robbins, Senior Curator, Leighton House
