As landscapes are scorched, coastlines are eroded, and communities are displaced in a world warming as a result of human activity, the built environment becomes a critical site of response. In Focus: Transformation brought together speakers from a broad range of cultural disciplines, including architects, researchers, worldbuilders, and artists whose work invited more equitable and sustainable ways of inhabiting the planet.

Taking place at the Hammer Museum, the program was curated by Beatrice Galilee, founder and executive director of The World Around, and Béatrice Grenier, director of strategic projects and international programs at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain.
