Alternate Languages

Building on from the first two iterations of ‘Alternative Languages’ at the British Pavilion, The Royal Academy of Arts invited The DisOrdinary Architecture Project to be involved at the third iteration at the museum in London.

On Saturday 16th March, the building was filled with a series of free immersive spatial activations, performances and workshops along with a couple of discussions in the lecture theatre.

In the lead up to the event, Architecture Curator (at the time) Kate Goodwin said:

The programme is intended to raise questions about what unites us and what divides us; about exclusion and generosity; about isolation and connectiveness. It seems we are in a time when disenchantment permeates many aspects of society and polarisation increases, it is therefore our aspiration to transcend difference, overcome prejudices, find ways to understand and connect with one another. We have sound artist/ technicians and choreographers, conducting workshops and performances throughout the building; artists and architectural students creating installations in unexpected places; and discussions that invite a critique of our relationship with one another and with our spaces.
