# Event Details - **Event Name**: Belonging through Practice | Gallery Talk - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 26 Jun, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Fri, 26 Jun, 2026 at 08:30 pm - **Event Description**: Lecture SeriesAbout this EventFor the London Festival of Architecture 2026, the Palestine Collective seeks to inaugurate its exhibition with a speaking event and panel discussion on the evening of June 26, 2026. Titled ‘Belonging through Practice’, this programme seeks to foreground architectural and artistic practices that engage with questions of Arab diaspora, displacement, and the reconstruction of identity across geographies.As part of the programme, we have invited 3 academics and practitioners whose work resonates with these themes across the MENA region. Rather than following a traditional lecture format, we hope to foster dialogue through paired presentations, allowing for meaningful exchanges between complementary practices. Each speaker will be invited to share selected past or ongoing work, followed by a moderated discussion with fellow speakers and the audience.Speakers / Panelists:Nihad Sharief is a Black Muslim Sudanese woman born to first-generation immigrants, with a strong interest in Sudanese architecture and cultural identity. Her work explores how built environments can reflect heritage, memory, and displacement. Inspired by current events in Sudan, she aims to use design to raise awareness and create meaningful spaces that reconnect communities with their cultural roots.Dr. Mirna Pedalo is a Bosnian architectural practitioner, researcher, and scholar whose interests lie at the intersection of Architecture, urban development, and environmental issues in post-conflict societies. In 2019, she received a PhD from the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths, University of London. Mirna is an Associate Lecturer in Media Studies at the School of Architecture, RCA, and teaches across several universities in the UK.Gabriella Demczuk (Al-Wah'at): is a Lebanese-American multidisciplinary artist, researcher, and Associate Lecturer at the Royal College of Art, where she teaches Media Studies and Environmental Architecture. She holds a distinction-awarded MA from Goldsmiths’ Centre for Research Architecture and a BA in Fine Arts and Journalism from the George Washington University. Her practice explores the intersection of political ecology, visual culture, and elemental media to investigate spatial power, environmental justice, and food sovereignty. Gabriella is a co-founder of Al-Wah’at, an artist-research collective building communal, ecological, and artistic practices of care and repair in response to growing aridity in the Mediterranean.Moderator:Zain Al-Sharaf Wahbeh is a London-based Palestinian archival researcher and Architect at Orms.
