The British Pavilion at the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale, curated by Kabage Karanja and Kathryn Yusoff, presents an exhibition titled GBR - Geology of Britannic Repair. It scrutinizes Britain's architectural legacy, linked to colonial histories and the climate crisis. By turning the pavilion 'inside out', the curators reveal a Britain rich in historical nuance and geological ties, advocating for architecture as a planetary practice. Their work emphasizes themes of reparation and connection between Britain and Kenya, earning them a Special Mention from the Biennale jury for their innovative approach.
The Pavilion's curators aim to turn the exhibit "inside out," presenting a version of Britain informed by historical layers and planetary connections often overlooked.
Architecture should not just be viewed as a material endeavor but as a planetary practice that connects through geological and systemic ties.
