The artistic research of Sandi Hilal and Alessandro Petti is situated between politics, architecture, art and pedagogy. They are co-director of DAAR (Decolonizing Architecture Art Residency) an architectural studio that explores the reuse, subversion and profanation of actual structures of domination: from evacuated military bases to the transformation of refugee camps, from uncompleted governmental structures to the remains of destroyed villages. In 2012, they initiated Campus in Camps, an experimental educational program hosted in Dheisheh Refugee Camp in Bethlehem with the aims to overcome conventional educational structures by creating a space for critical and grounded knowledge production (www.campusincamps.ps). Alessandro is professor of Architecture and Social Justice at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm and Sandi has initiated the living room project, a series of spaces of hospitality that have the potential to subvert the role of guest and host. Their latest book is entitled Permanent Temporariness (Art and Theory 2018).
