Sumayya Vally (Counterspace) in conversation with Joseph Grima

On the occasion of Milan Arch Week 2023 Around Peripheries, South African architect Sumayya Vally dialogues with British architect and curator Joseph Grima. An opportunity to question what it means to overturn the hierarchies between margins and centrality and what the role of cultural production is in the political agenda of architecture.

Founder of Counterspace, a South African design and research studio, Sumayya Vally is author of the Serpentine Pavilion 2021 and director of the first Islamic Arts Biennale.
