Text: The Human Condition by Hannah Arendt

Guides: Czarina & Connor

Place: FiDi

Hannah Arendt's masterwork, The Human Condition, tells an unconventional story about the historical separation of public and private spaces. In her account, the very idea of public space is indistinguishable from the zone of politics: a space dedicated to the domain of human plurality. It is only here — in public space, in politics — that humans can guarantee a future for themselves and for others.
Join us in FiDi to attend to the ways that design projects have come to partition public and private space. We'll think about what future possibilities these public/private divisions produce or foreclose — and imagine what kinds of public/private models can meet the unique demands of the present.
