Pedagogies of Student Activism
19–21 September 2025

Unmasking Space will organise a symposium on critical pedagogies, bringing together students, activists, researchers, and collectives from Venice, Zurich, and beyond. This three-day gathering will explore alternative learning methodologies designed to cultivate solidarity and resistance within student movements across disciplines and institutions.

The symposium will coincide with the launch of the collective's first publication—a handbook examining the intersection of student activism and architectural education, offering both theoretical frameworks and practical strategies for educational transformation.

Further details regarding the complete schedule, featured speakers, and exhibition programme will be announced soon.

Unmasking Space is supported by the Chair of Affective Architectures and the D-ARCH Enabling Grant
