The Counter Architecture of the British Mosque: Shahed Saleem in Conversation with Neal Shasore

Architecture on Stage

Shahed Saleem

Shahed Saleem leads a conversation, unpacking the themes and ideas of his latest published collection of essays and photographs, Building Futures: The Counter Architecture of the British Mosque.

The discussion will explore how migrants and diasporas create space and community, and how the post-war multicultural consensus in Britain has been shaped and challenged through the intersections of race, politics and architecture.
