The Taubman Africa Alliance invites you to a critical dinner event rethinking the boundaries between lecture and lived experience.

In Afrikaans a “ghellie blik” is a found metal object perforated to hold fire, serving as a communal gathering point for storytelling. It symbolizes community in places otherwise defined by infrastructural neglect.

“Ghellie Blik Stories” with Clint Abrahams are dialogues around this fire, exploring the meaning and practice of architecture in marginalized communities. They interrogate whether architecture is an act of being or becoming. They question how one describes, from within, places routinely represented by indifference or distortion, and how alternate languages or practices might articulate such spaces more accurately.

Due to limited capacity, an RSVP is required, and attendance will be limited to the first 12 respondents.
