For Between Us, the second season of the Architectures of Planetary Well-Being podcast, we partnered with KoozArch, a research-driven studio and digital magazine exploring architecture and design beyond their built forms. The phrase “between us” implies a secret, something kept safe, reserved just for those present. The concepts explored in Between Us are, alternatively, meant to be shared, but they’re indeed explored in intimate dialogues between practitioners who might not have known each other previously and then found commonality—and even collaboration—through these conversations.
In exchanges guided by Federica Zambeletti and Shumi Bose (KoozArch's founder and chief editor, respectively), fourteen cultural practitioners, meeting each other across generational and geographical distances, discussed architecture, storytelling, language, material, science fiction, landscapes, tenderness, and memory. A common thread emerged: the need for collaboration, friendship, accessibility, and imagination in the reimagining of a more just world. In working toward a state of planetary well-being, we must cross boundaries between artistic mediums and territorial borders alike—and reach for each other.

“There’s two professions in the world that have at their heart some form of liberty… a philosopher and an artist,” says writer and curator Ekow Eshun. In a conversation with the interdisciplinary artist Danielle Dean, the two discuss the importance of storytelling and art in creating a more just and caring world. They reimagine the role of cultural institutions, particularly museums, and think beyond the confines of these spaces’ walls to imagine how we can utilize art to reevaluate history, establish new perspectives, and perhaps shape the future.
