Amphibian Aesthetics: Architectural Imaginaries
Date: Sunday, 14 December 2025
Time: 3:30 – 4 PM
Venue: URU Art Harbour
Speaker: Dima Srouji
Moderated by Anuj Daga
This session explores how art and architectural practices mould, morph, and move through historical exigencies. Amidst the ongoing ecological precarity, cultural erasures and unstable futures, the session asks if a new spatial thinking is possible, one that is capable of inhabiting multiple worlds, temporalities, and material states at once. How do memory and material get encoded in space, and how does architecture reorder the passages of time we inhabit? ‘Amphibian Aesthetics – Architectural Imaginaries’ invites participants to rethink architecture as a practice that both absorbs and reshapes the contradictions of the present, opening new grounds for the future.
Dima Srouji is a Palestinian architect and visual artist whose practice approaches the ground as a living archive. She uses collaborative craft to restitch endangered histories towards cultural repair.
Anuj Daga is an architect, writer and curator, as well as a collegial associate to the exhibition team of Amphibian Aesthetics.
