AAD Arguments: Mpho Matsipa

Wed, Jul 8    11:15am

Mpho Matsipa is a South African-born design researcher, curator and urban theorist rooted in African design thinking across the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean worlds. She practices curating as a form of public scholarship that explores African cities and diasporic creative practices as generative epistemological frameworks in architecture and urbanism. She is an Associate Professor at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London where she also serves as Co-Director of Spatial Justice. Mpho is a Loeb Fellow 2022 (Harvard Graduate School of Design), Prince Claus, Building Beyond Senior Fellow (2026) and she holds a PhD in Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley. She has curated several exhibitions, discursive platforms and experimental architectural research platforms. She is working on an Architecture Mixed Tape in collaboration with Chimurenga, for which she divides her time between Johannesburg, London, Lagos and New York.

Organized by the MS in Advanced Architectural Design program as part of the AAD Arguments Lecture Series.
