Interrogative Designs: Conversations with Krzysztof Wodiczko

The Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) hosts an afternoon of conversations on the work of artist and GSD Professor in Residence, Krzysztof Wodiczko. Wodiczko will first be joined by architectural historian and GSD professor Erika Naginski for an exploration of architecture’s role in the construction and performance of memory, using Wodiczko’s work as a frame. After a short break, Wodiczko will return with art historian Rosalyn Deutsche. Deutsche and Wodiczko will discuss the role of trauma, healing, and survival in his work over the last five decades.

A full description of the program and speaker bios can be found on the Harvard Graduate School of Design’s website.
