Featuring artist Ibrahim Mahama as keynote speaker, followed by a conversation with Thomas Aquilina, Co-Director of Spatial Justice at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. Aquilina will frame the event around his experience of embedding a human rights-based approach into public space both locally and globally; drawing on his 2025 essay, “Who’s right, what right, and where’s that right?”. Aquilina and Mahama will consider the framing of art as a basic human right and explore how Mahama's experimental approach towards regeneration, restitution and repatriation involves communities from the outset to inform future generations’ engagement with art practice.

This event considers drawings which are contested rather than resolved. A boundary redrawn by two parties; a survey read differently depending on who's measuring; a deed whose line was never quite where the wall is.

How are the spaces in which justice is discussed, negotiated and delivered shaped by architecture, ritual and performance? How can artistic practice help us to rethink the systems and institutions through which justice and collective decision-making are produced?
