DESCRIPTION:Anooradha Iyer Siddiqi is an assistant professor at Barnard Co
 llege\, Columbia University and specializes in histories of architecture\,
  modernity\, and migration\, centering African and South Asian questions o
 f historicity and archives\, heritage politics\, and feminist and colonial
  practices. Her scholarship aims to foreground histories of marginalized p
 eople and figures and promote practices of collaboration and support\, esp
 ecially concerning the lives and narratives of communities that have been 
 systematically excluded or silenced. Thinking through objects\, buildings\
 , and landscapes\, her work examines intellectual histories and diverse fo
 rms of esthetic practice and cultural production.\nAnooradha Iyer Siddiqi 
 will join us on Wednesday\, 20.11.2024 for the Neighbors lecture series on
  History & Theory of Architecture Vol. 4. When Minnette De Silva founded 
 the Studio of Modern Architecture in Kandy\, Sri Lanka (then Ceylon)\, in 
 1947\, she was one of the first women in the world to establish a professi
 onal architectural practice as sole principal. Her practice treated archit
 ecture as a lived experience and a contemporary expression of heterogeneou
 s pasts. In her talk titled "Minnette De Silva: Intersections"\, Anooradha
  Iyer Siddiqi will offer a richly illustrated critical introduction to De 
 Silva’s practice\, exploring a range of projects through the intersectin
 g intellectual concerns that shaped her work. Drawing on modernist archite
 ctural techniques and material heritage practices\, De Silva forged a dist
 inctive\, critically engaged aesthetic program and set of values.
