Working with ArtLab, Malkit Shoshan will curate an interdisciplinary lecture series co-hosted by the Graduate School of Design, ArtLab, and the Religion, Conflict, and Peace Initiative at Harvard Divinity School.
These conversations will feature activists, curators, artists, designers, and philosophers and will be incorporated into their Harvard Graduate School of Design course, Interdisciplinary Art and Design Practices. As art and design practices move from art in public space to art in the public interest, their participatory and relational makeup can generate platforms and agencies that question dominant culture, construct new practices, establish new subjectivities, and subvert existing power configurations.
Malkit Shoshan, a Design Critic in urban planning and Design at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, has been appointed the 2024 Senior Loeb Scholar. Each year, the Senior Loeb Scholar is in residence on the GSD campus, during which time they present a public lecture and engage directly with GSD students, faculty, staff, researchers, affiliates, and Loeb Fellows. The program offers the GSD community opportunities to learn from and share insights with visionary designers, scholars, and thought leaders in a uniquely focused context.
