Elias and Yousef will discuss the ever-evolving webs that constitute the structure of their studio. Linking hyper-contextual conditions that are different a priori, to create a new strengthened global discourse, has been at the intersection of all of their practices. Systematically tracing origins, remnants, and nets of global solidarities within their shuffling practices of architecture, design, and cultural production – all based in Palestine – has been the focus of their work, which they describe as global provincialism.
