Architecture has long been used as an instrument to divide, to distance, to exclude, to separate, to segregate. But architecture can also be a means to unite, to include, to gather, to care, to listen, to acknowledge, to celebrate. In this we must continue to ask who “we” is, but we must also recognize that “we” already is and always has been here. The question, then, is perhaps where “here” actually is.

Where is Here? is a collaboration between Het Nieuwe Instituut and e-flux Architecture following Who is We?, the Dutch pavilion at 2021 Venice Architecture Biennale.
