SAHGB Annual History Workshop: Lightning Round 2 – Visual Representation in Architectural History – Methodologies (online / Friday, May 21, 4:00 – 6:00 pm [BST / Time Zone Converter])
Building on the themes explored in SAHGB’s Annual History Workshop: Visual Representation in Architectural History, the 21st May lightning round session highlights alternative research methodologies. Selected from a competitive field of proposals, the papers explore the spread of street art and protest graffiti following the murder of George Floyd, recreate the lost red light district in Tehran and explore how Steve McQueen’s “Small Axe” films capture London’s changing cityscape and record lived experiences of the built environment between 1968 and 1984. Presenters are from the United Kingdom and the USA and their papers consider histories from the very recent past to the early 20th century.
