If you are in London on the 29th of November 2024, join us at the AA School of Architecture, for the AA Landscape Urbanism symposium 'LOCATING THE AGRARIAN STRUGGLES FOR LAND'. Discussing land and agrarian struggles should be relevant for designers and spatial practitioners yet this is rarely on the table. From the website event:

'Land and agrarian struggles are fundamental to emancipation yet the politics of “good food”, in wealthy nations, is underwhelming. In places like the US and Europe, the radical promise of a post-capitalist food system and land reform tends to be watered down. Technocratic, apolitical narratives tend to dominate such as farm-to-table restaurants, regenerative agriculture, eco certifications, and nature-based solutions. The radical anti-capitalist potential of agroecology and food sovereignty becomes instead a capitalist reform. The structuring dynamics of race, class and gender become assimilated into the dominant liberal worldview.'

The Metropolitan Landscapes programme at the Architectural Associations looks critically at the intricate interdepend relation of urban dense environments and the landscapes and territories (productive, operative, logistical, extractive, etc.) necessary for them to thrive. With a special focus on Latin America, this online programme explores the role design and investigative methodologies can play in creating alternative and innovative visions for metropolitan regions, at a planetary, regional and local scale in close connection with disciplines such as journalism, activism, economy, planning, policy-making, geography, etc. Metropolitan Landscapes aims to incorporate the design profession into wider disciplinary conversations to influence policy-making, and journalism and transform the governance and management of metropolitan regions into a creative, accountable and visionary practice that can deliver sustainable and resilient urbanisation models.AA Visiting School
