Season 2, Episode 10: Sean Canty
Sean Canty expresses the value of looking outside the profession, especially other visual cultures, to create new meanings for our work as architects.
Sean Canty’s architectural practice is deeply rooted in and draws from other artistic disciplines and visual cultures. By expanding his source of references beyond the field of Architecture, Canty draws from visionaries like Basquiat to integrate questions of identity and representation in subtle ways. His work pushes us to ask how we can create spaces that honor and reflect on tragic moments in the past while bringing joy to and benefitting hurting communities today.
