On January 24th, at 6 PM, Quill Kukla will give a public lecture on “Capitalist and Anti-Capitalist Place-Making through Street Art” at Centro de Inovação da Mouraria / Mouraria Creative Hub. Free entry.

Quill R. Kukla is a Professor of Philosophy and a Senior Research Scholar at the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University, where they are also the director of Disability Studies. Their main areas of research are ethics, philosophy of language, social epistemology, philosophy of science, and anti-oppression philosophy. They recently published City Living, a book about urban spaces, urban dwellers, and how these spaces and people make, shape, and change one another. In this work Professor Kukla offers the first systematic philosophical investigation of the nature of city life and city dwellers. The book draws on empirical and ethnographic work in geography, anthropology, urban planning, and several other disciplines in order to explore the impact that cities have on their dwellers and that dwellers have on their cities.

Event co-organised with Ana Gariso (ICNOVA NOVA FCSH) and Mouraria Creative Hub / Câmara Municipal de Lisboa.
