- **Event Description**: We’re thrilled to be joined by Kwan Queenie Li, the author of Weeds: A Germinating Theory, for a very special edition of the AA Book Group.About this EventFor over a decade, artist and theorist Kwan Queenie Li has been photographing weeds across the world. From Jerusalem to Shanghai, Varanasi to Athens, Cairo to Mexico City, she has trained her attention on these unintended but ubiquitous inhabitants of the contemporary urban sphere, finding them dwelling in corners and cracks, in spaces suspended between uses, in ruins and on construction sites.This essay in image and text proposes a new view of cities that learns from the W**d’s point of view, dissolving familiar categories and temporalities to see cities as evolving and often undefined spaces, replete with opportunity. Weeds organically defy phenomena that are taken for granted as immovable: walls, borders, history, and prescribed identities. They are registers of the real lives of cities – of disuse and neglect, but also freedom and porousness. Out-of-place by definition, they offer a new perspective on the idea of ‘place’ itself, and the ways it shapes and is shaped by its inhabitants.Weeds: A Germinating Theory is published as part of Sightlines, a series of essays looking at architecture from distinct points of view, each taking the perspective of a particular entity, history, discipline, or form of writing, by MACK Books.Kwan Queenie Li is a Hong Kong interdisciplinary artist. Her research-based practice explores postcolonial ideologies and their alternatives. She has given performance lectures at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford; the University of Cambridge; and IdeasCity Residency, co-curated by NTU CCA and the New Museum. She holds a BFA from the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford, a BBA degree in Global Studies from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and an MS in Art, Culture, and Technology from MIT.-Anyone who has read the book is welcome to join but RSVP is necessary.Attendees of the book group will be able to buy the book with a discount of 20% (£15, RRP £19).
