For A Fragile Correspondence we have explored the climate emergency in relation to language and land, through three distinct locations across Scotland. Our exhibition culminates in a Reading Room where we present a Lexicon of words and phrases which we have drawn from our research and wonderful exhibition collaborators. As La Biennale has progressed, the Lexicon has continued to grow as visitors use their own languages to also add words and phrases which reflect local conditions across the world.

In this roundtable discussion we have invited a range a panellists with specialisms in architecture, art, curation, and education who have participated in 18th International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia this year. We'll discuss their personal and professional relationships with language and land, and reflect on the positioning of architecture within public discourse. We also invite panellists, and the audience, to contribute to our Lexicon.

Our wonderful panel includes:

Nana Biamah-Ofosu - Curator Tropical Modernism, tutor Biennale College
Alyesha Choudhury - Co-founder of /other, co-curator of A Fragile Correspondence
Alissar Riachi - Editor-in-Chief of -ism magazine, co-curator of A Fragile Correspondence

Emmett Scanlon - Artistic & Editorial Organiser of the 18th International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia
Andy Summers - Co-founder & Co-director of the Architecture Fringe, co-curator of A Fragile Correspondence

The conversation will be chaired by Amina Chouairi of Università Iuav di Venezia.
