"The pavilion is an instrument you can play. It's a participatory experience."
"Because we're from different places, [and have] different stories, different context, oftentimes our dialogue is not cohesive."
Coleman Jordan, a visiting professor, presents 'Recall and Response' at the Venice Architecture Biennial, promoting dialogue between African and African diaspora communities. The pavilion, designed for reuse and participation, serves as a platform for gathering and conversation. Jordan addresses the disjointed communication often found between these groups while emphasizing their shared experiences. Supported by HBCU initiatives, Jordanâs work aims to foster solidarity and reflection on their commonalities amidst diverse histories and narratives, enhancing understanding and connection at this renowned international exhibition.
