Solar Talks: Susan Schuppli and Freya Spencer-Wood

Join the Director of the Centre for Research Architecture, Goldsmiths University of London, Susan Schuppli, and Design Researcher in Residence Freya Spencer-Wood for a conversation on interdisciplinary practice, spatial investigation and climate justice.

Building on Freya’s research during her residency, the talk takes the peatland bogs of the Flow Country as its starting point from which to build an intersectional approach to climate action.
