In-Between the (Property) Lines
A lecture by Marija Marić
VENUE: Dialogue, 35, Grand-Rue, Wiltz
The lecture examines language and storytelling as instruments in the commodification of land and housing. Organised around the reading of Real Estate Poetry – an experimental method of critical spatial writing centred on the existing language of speculative real estate markets – the lecture explores the way words naturalize, legitimize, and enable extractive practices of the property regimes.
Marija Marić is an architectural theorist based in Luxembourg. She works as a postdoctoral research associate at the Master in Architecture, University of Luxembourg. In 2020, she obtained a PhD from ETH Zurich. Her thesis examines the role of communication strategists in the design, mediation, and commodification of land and housing. She co-curated the Luxembourg Pavilion at the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale and is the co-author with Francelle Cane of Staging the Moon. Resource Extraction Beyond Earth (Leipzig: Spector Books, 2023).
