This lecture interrogates the American narrative of community 'underdevelopment,' and considers layered narratives to illuminate both the challenges and possibilities of America’s postcolonial landscape.

This event celebrates the launch of a major digital platform which makes available over 4000 archival drawings, photographs and documents related to the AA’s Department of Tropical Architecture (1954–71) – a programme attended by a generation of architects and planners who would help to shape practice across the Global South.

Join Andrew Holmes for the talk ‘Follow Me to Pie Land’, as he discusses his current exhibition *ROAD WORK*. The show brings together 16 large-scale prints from a series of 1,000 polaroid photographs that he took in 1980s Los Angeles. The song *Stack o' Bricks*, performed by Holmes’ band Alabama Chrome, will be heard in recorded form for the first time.
