Sandi Hilal
“We believe—and this is apparent in each of our projects—that we
need to build anew civic space that could construct a relational
geography and allow new perspectives and new ‘first times’.”
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
Sandi Hilal is the Director and founding member of the Decolonizing Architecture Art Residency (DAAR), an architectural collective that focuses on the interventions of contemporary architecture and spatial justice. Hilal is also the co-author of “Architecture After Revolution,” a book that looks at decolonization as a project rather than an event that follows a linear order. She posits that decolonization efforts are ongoing and must be ingrained in the way we interact with space and colonized peoples.
