Research on agency and engagement in a space and time of crisis.
By taking the form of intersectional research, the role of architecture and space shifts from being merely a stage that facilitates actions to becoming an active entity in the so-called crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border.
Space is the grounding setting that makes the crisis tangeable and embodied.
Architecture is an embodied intention - its tangibility makes it a transparent translation of what a society is and what it aspires to become.
Architecture and space collaborates here with:
critical security studies and the history of political thought in the context of migration (dr Mateusz Krępa),
antropology and humanitarian activism (Joanna Sarnecka),
and with feminist theory, field philosophy, environmental humanities, and border studies (dr Olga Cielemęcka)
