Thandi Loewenson is a researcher and architect, and she is a senior tutor at the Royal College of Art, London. She combines design, fiction, and performance to question the status quo, spark collective action and envision other possible worlds, while working with policy makers, local communities, unions, artists, and architects. Through texts, installations, and interventions, Loewenson explores the links between extractivism, exploitation and racial discrimination and the effects of colonialism. Among other projects, she has done an in-depth study of the urban development of Lusaka and its extractivist dynamics, proposing alternative models inspired by the Zambian space program. She is co-founder of the architecture collective BREAK/LINE, which is especially critical of the trespasses of capital, the indifference towards inequality, and the myriad frontiers of oppression present in architectural education and practice today. She also collaborates with EQUINET, the regional network on equity in health in East and Southern Africa. She is co-curator, with Huda Tayob and Suzi Hall, of the open access curriculum Race, Space & Architecture. In 2023, she was artist in residence at the Centre for Race, Gender, and Class at the University of Johannesburg.
