IAF House

Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea is IAF's talk programme which brings international speakers to audiences where they are on the island of Ireland.

Léopold Lambert is a trained architect living in Paris. He is the editor-in-chief of The Funambulist, a print and online magazine dedicated to the politics of space and bodies. Join Léopold in conversation with Sara Greavu, as they discuss his next book project. Relevant to audiences in Ireland, the book will follow this trajectory by examining the role of architecture in five various settler colonial contexts (Ireland, South Africa, Palestine, Algeria, and Kanaky), presented in Ireland for the first time. The talk is part of Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, the IAF's international speaker and talks programme which meets audiences with architecture where they are on the island of Ireland. Stories from the City, Stories from the SeaAs an island nation, Ireland has long since depended on reciprocity, the continuous import and export of ideas, people, imagination and knowledge. These exchanges continue to form and shape our built and architecture culture. At a time of global change, IAF presents a series of international speakers to share their work on identity, reuse, collaboration, queerness and contest in our built world today.The Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea series is part of the IAF Future Heritage autumn programme.
