Culture Now: Eyal Weizman

Eyal Weizman discusses his approach to politics and philosophy

Join architect, scholar and curator Eyal Weizman for this lunchtime talk in conversation with Achille Mbembe, in which they will discuss approaches to politics and philosophy.

A key figure within the study of contemporary humanism and architecture, Weizman's most recent book, The Least of all Possible Evils investigates the genealogy of human rights, from classical and Christian ethics through to modern political philosophy and contemporary theory.

Weizman is also a founding member of the collective, Decolonising Architecture Art Residency (DAAR) in Bethlehem and is Professor of Spatial and Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths College, University of London where he directs the Centre for Research Architecture.

Weizman has published numerous articles and books (Hollow Land, A Civilian Occupation, Yellow Rythms and the Territories 1,2, and 3 series). In addition to sitting on the board of numerous councils worldwide, he also manages the ‘Forensic Architecture' project, funded by the European Research Council.
