Night School 2025, Lifelines: Ecologies of Homemaking
Public lecture by Neha Vora
What does it mean to inhabit urban space with others?
In her public talk, Neha Vora will explore how human residents of the UAE’s cities—the vast majority of whom cannot settle permanently—produce home alongside and through their interactions with cats, birds, plants and each other. All within the context of ever-changing urban landscapes.
The event is free and open to all. Please kindly confirm your attendance by registering here.
Ecologies of Homemaking is part of Night School 2025, a month-long program of seminars and public events led by Todd Reisz and dedicated to encounters with urbanism and history in Dubai. More information here.
