February 22 The Committee On Globalization & Social Change: The Camp and the City: Architectures of Refuge

This panel, which grows out the MoMA exhibition, “Insecurities: Tracing Displacement and
Shelter,” curated by participant Sean Anderson, will consider how ostensibly temporary
refugee camps urbanize over time, and conversely how cities experiencing conflict fall into the
condition of camps, or of informal settlements.
