Abstract	"The third annual Alchemy Lecture brought together four thinkers and practitioners who work across a range of disciplines and geographies to share their ideas of city life, its structures and architectures, and how radically different these can and should be organized to support community needs. Princeton University assistant professor of architecture V. Mitch McEwen borrows the language of the swamp to suggest a city modeled on buoyancy. Iranian-American writer and professor Laleh Khalili dreams a city of radical kinship, in which even strangers have the means and desire to share a table. In the Bantu/Kongo tradition, Brazilian architect and professor Gabriela Leandro Pereira points to dreams as the site from which all Black emancipation begins. And, finally, Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg writer and musician Leanne Betasamosake Simpson examine how collectives form at the thresholds between things; "this city of my dreaming is one that relentlessly chooses life, Black life, Palestinian life, Indigenous life, the life of the watered, aired and landed, the life of snow crystals, over and over again, across every scale, temporality and spatiality. Relentlessly." These four alchemists open pathways for crafting architectures of freedom in disparate imaginative spaces"-- Provided by publisher.
