Collective Repair with Ana Miljački

Collective Repair presents examples of pedagogical and curatorial work produced from within the framework of the Critical Broadcasting Lab at MIT and contenting with topics of repair and collectivity. These include: the Collective Architecture Studio series aimed at actively reconfiguring the way that architectural authorship flows, is understood, and is addressed in the context of academia, while simultaneously considering ways that collective ownership has historically, and might yet shape architectural outcomes.

Ana Miljački is a historian, critic, curator and Professor of Architecture at MIT, where she directs the SMArchS program. In 2018, Miljački launched MIT’s Critical Broadcasting Lab (CBL), engaged in critical, curatorial, and broadcasting work. She recently coedited LOG 54: Coauthoring with Ann Lui, and an issue of JAE titled Pedagogies for a Broken World, with Igor Marjanović and Jay Cephas. The work of her Collective Architecture studio was featured in the Great Repair exhibition in Berlin in 2023. CBL’s video installation The Pilgrimage was presented in Venice in 2023, and at the Architecture Biennial in Timişoara in the fall of 2024. Since 2021 Critical Broadcasting Lab has been collaborating with the Architectural League of New York on a podcast titled: I Would Prefer Not To.
