A conversation With Lydia Xynogala

In this series of recorded encounters we speak with the participants of Onassis AiR to shed light on their artistic practices and needs, as well as to reflect on ways of being and working together. In this conversation, we speak with Lydia Xynogala. With a background in architecture Lydia works across formats and scales as a designer, writer and scholar, making buildings, interiors, objects, environments and exhibitions that explore the material affects of built artifacts in the construction of cultural narratives. She is a participant of The School of Infinite Rehearsals Movement III, with a collective research focus on the notion of ecologies. Today, we discuss about matter as an active marker of time and the role of architecture in generating new building typologies, as well as new types and forms of communal engagement and production.
