Philosopher Jacques Rancière and architect Farshid Moussavi RA discuss aesthetics, politics and architecture.

This event is part of a series of conversations between philosophers and architects which examine the relationship between architecture, politics, the environment and gender.

For the second conversation in the ‘Aesthetics and Architecture’ series, philosopher Jacques Rancière will be joined by architect Farshid Moussavi RA to discuss aesthetics and architecture, and their connection with space and politics.

Jacques Rancière is Professor of Philosophy at The European Graduate School and Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the Université de Paris VIII. He is one of the most significant and influential philosophers of our time. His work has widely examined the articulation of politics and aesthetics.
