The Architectural History Podcast mini-series: Constructing Coloniality
This mini-series of the Architectural History podcast marks the 2023 SAHGB conference, Constructing Coloniality: British Imperialism and the Built Environment.
We speak to researchers who work on empire and architecture, to give a sense of the topics and methodological debates addressed by the 2023 SAHGB conference.
The conference took as its theme the coloniality of architecture and heritage in relation to the British Empire, from the early years of expansionism and the escalation of the slave trade in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, through the physical and political force wielded in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the development of racial capitalism, to the subsequent and ongoing struggles for independence, freedom and justice.
