What did we learn?

1. How architectural design brings people together in an on/offline material relationship.

2. How to integrate the domestic interior with playfulness into the serious architecture domain.

3. How to question: “What is the Internet? What is an online community?”

4. How a simple participatory project supported the communities and kept people connected “intimately” during the lockdown.

5. What is the role of a costume? How does it represent and conceal a character above the artist’s own identity?

6. How can you immerse the viewer into a digital performance?

7. What might be the influence of the art market on Rebecca Van Beeck's practice?

About the Music piece

The music piece created by Samm Anga especially for this event is named Kéré. This musical segment of the Agora Talk deals with art and architecture.

The title of the piece comes from Francis Kéré, a Berlin-based architect from the African village of Gando, in Burkina Faso. His work explores ‘radically simple’ concepts that intersect community and architecture.

Paying homage to Kéré’s influence, the piece intertwines simple musical ideas into tightly woven syncopated patterns that dance around each other, constructed from the ground up.

The percussive Afro-beat inspired melodies also explore patterns that are evocative of and prevalent in much of African dance music. If you would like view this video again, visit Samm Anga’s website.
