Please join us for the first in a series of three lectures with the protagonists of the exhibition and film series ‘Groundwork,’ on view now at the S AM. The third chapter in the series, ‘With an Acre,’ follows architect Carla Juaçaba as she develops minimal pavilions in support of a collective of smallholder coffee farmers fighting extractive agriculture in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Groundwork
An exhibition and film series produced by the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), Montreal
What does it mean to think and do architecture today, in light of social crises and ecological challenges? ‘Groundwork’ addresses this question by investigating contemporary approaches that are rethinking architectural practice. At its center is a series of three new documentary films, which were produced by the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal and originally shown there as three separate exhibitions.LINA platform
LINA, the European architecture platform, is a network connecting prominent cultural players with emerging practitioners and thinkers in architecture. Its goal is to steer the architectural sector towards sustainable, circular and clean practices, to link the existing efforts into a united LINA Architecture Programme, and highlight new and emerging voices, giving them an international platform.
