About this event
We invite you to our closing event, which will be a chance to learn more about how the Building Africa exhibition was made through collaborations between the ASA research team and architects in Ethiopia, South Africa and Ghana.
It brings the researchers and design teams together for the first time, to share ideas about collaboration, the processes of interpreting research, and experiences of sharing it with publics in Addis Abeba, Johannesburg, Accra and London.
