Post-Domestic Spaces of Social Reproduction
Post-Domestic Spaces of Social Reproduction
23 April 2026
Time
1.30–6pm
Location
AA Lecture Hall, 36 Bedford Square, WC1B 3ES
This symposium, part of the AA Landscape Urbanism programme, investigates how domestic arrangements that historically underpinned the social reproduction of capitalism are buckling under the weight of social, economic and environmental crises. What opportunities might be found within these conditions, in the fractures and contradictions of capitalist development? How might new relations, spaces and visions of social reproduction be forged, outside of and against those of extraction, exchange and accumulation?
