Andrés Jaque
Andrés Jaque is an architect, writer and curator whose work explores architecture as a cosmopolitical practice. He is the Dean of Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, New York. In 2003, he founded the Office for Political Innovation, a trandisciplinary agency working in the intersection of design, research and environmental activism. His projects often explore social and ecological networks. In 2016, he was awarded with the 10th Frederick Kiesler Prize for Architecture and the Arts. In 2024 he won the UNESCO Global Award for Sustainable Architecture and in 2014, the Silver Lion to the Best Project at the 14th Venice Biennale. Jaque is the author of award-winning architectural projects, including the Reggio School (El Encinar de los Reyes, 2020) and the Babin Yar Museum of Memory and Oblivion in Kyiv.
Tiago Patatas
Tiago Patatas é um profissional e investigador espacial cujo trabalho apoia lutas ambientais e examina a sua articulação com políticas do espaço. As suas investigações mais recentes abordam modalidades de extrativismo verde, em particular a irrupção das fronteiras da mineração de lítio, bem como o imperialismo nuclear e as suas expansões destrutivas a nível global. Projetos individuais e colaborativos foram apresentados no Nieuwe Instituut, na Galeria Municipal do Porto e na Bienal de Helsínquia, entre outros fóruns. Tiago é mestre em Research Architecture com distinção pela Goldsmiths, University of London, e atualmente é doutorando em Arquitetura no Royal College of Art. Vive entre Londres e o Porto.
Kathryn Yusoff
Kathryn Yusoff is Professor of Inhuman Geography at Queen Mary University of London, where she interrogates the geologies of race, extraction and colonial power through critical environmental humanities. Trained in geography, social theory and feminist philosophy, her research (and her recent book Geologic Life: Inhuman Intimacies and the Geophysics of Race, 2024) surfaces how colonial geology constructs racialized geospatial forms and how Black, Indigenous and Caribbean thought might reimagine planetary subjectivity. She also authored A Billion Black Anthropocenes or None (2019), and leads work on “planetary portals” to dismantle extractive imaginaries and rethink coexistence across Earth systems.
