We dig up some unreleased fragments of our conversation with architect, artist, and curator Paulo Tavares. Reflections that address the role of museums as spaces that shape public discourse, their involvement and relationship with ecology, sustainability, and the climate crisis, and how they can avoid falling into greenwashing rhetoric.

Paulo Tavares
In this podcast, we ask Brazilian architect, researcher, and writer Paulo Tavares to respond to Audre Lorde’s enduring question: “The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.” Drawing on examples from projects such as Trees, Vines, Palms and Other Architectural Monuments, and reflecting on what he calls “a moment of shift” in today’s political climate, Paulo develops his notion of “critical proximity” as well as his understanding of architecture as a political field. We also interrogate ourselves about what a sustainable museum should be, while tackling systemic epistemic deficiencies and the politics of narrative.
