Oblique Histories: Nigerian Indigenous Architecture With and Against Zbigniew Dmochowski
Symposium
April 11, 2024
Speakers: Warebi Brisibe, Kathryn Ciancia, Łukasz Stanek, Adedoyin Teriba
The symposium traces the oblique trajectories of the comprehensive study of Indigenous (“traditional”) architecture in Nigeria carried out by a Nigerian-Polish team between the 1950s and the 1970s. Symposium participants questioned this study’s contribution to the decolonization of architecture in Nigeria, and its ongoing appropriation by Nigerian educators, architects, and scholars.
