Held in conjunction with Sightlines, Ghosts, and Other Stories of the Impossible, this conversation brings together Jess Atieno, Leslie Wilson, and Nekita Thomas to consider the afterlives of architecture and the futures projected through it. Beginning from themes within Atieno’s exhibition—including speculative space, projection, and the instability of imagined futures—the discussion will expand outward to consider how built environments continue to shape memory, representation, and lived experience across the present. Together, the conversation approaches architecture not only as structure, but as atmosphere, projection, and unresolved promise.  Program: 6:30-7:45PM | Public program in the Green Line Performing Arts Center Theater 7:45-8:30PM | Reception in Arts Incubator Gallery (301 E. Garfield Blvd)  About the Exhibition: What remains here is not only the buildings themselves, but the futures they once promised— futures that were never fully realized. In the afterlives of independence-era architecture, that moment does not resolve into the past, yet those futures remain unsettled. Brutalist and modernist forms become sites where past and present operate simultaneously, holding the pressure of a future that has yet to settle into shape. — Through sculptural works that recast architectural elements in concrete and incorporate embedded sonic elements, Atieno approaches architecture as atmospheric and felt. Printed works situate bodies within these spaces, where structure and environment remain in ongoing reconfiguration. The project treats modernism as an evolving formation shaped by circulation, environment, and lived spatial realities. In this sense, what persists is not only what remains, but what continues to take shape.
