TESSERAE DIALOGUES
Ten years of Tesserae in ten conversations (+1)
To celebrate ten years of Tesserae, and to look forward into the next decade of our work, we are launching the ‘Tesserae Dialogues’ web series. Starting in December 2021, Tesserae will host a series of monthly online conversations with ten activists, researchers and policy experts who have served as essential reference points for our work. Together, we will discussing the state of international urban policies and politics and exploring some projects, ideas and works that have marked Tesserae’s ten year journey. The conversations will be streamed every month until November 2022. The project will conclude with a book reflecting the inputs and ideas collected throughout the series.
