HUDA TAYOB

WHERE Cape Town, Republic of South Africa; Manchester, UK
PEOPLE Huda Tayob (b. Cape Town, Republic of South Africa, 1986)

Huda Tayob is an activist and architecture historian focusing on minor, migrant, subordinate architectures and on how the literature can bring to light invisible fragments of memory and restore the dignity of natural space-reformulating practices. In projects such as Archive of Forgetfulness and Race, Space and Architecture, Tayob and other curators examine the way African cities have been planned in order to seek answers on issues of segregation, social injustice, and spatialisation of racial capitalism.
