SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Oblique Histories: Nigerian Indigenous Architecture With and Against Zbigniew Dmochowski
DESCRIPTION:The impulse to decolonize architectural history often leads to a double bind. The critique of colonial epistemologies is accompanied by a revalorization of the colonial archives\, methods\, and experiences as indispensable sources for the understanding of architectural modernities. This symposium proposes a different approach. It traces the oblique trajectories of actors moving between what usually counts as the “peripheries” of the West. It focuses on the comprehensive study of Indigenous (“traditional”) architecture in Nigeria\, carried out between the 1950s and the 1970s by a Nigerian-Polish team led by Zbigniew Dmochowski (1903-82): architect\, historian\, and the first director of the Museum of Traditional Nigerian Architecture at Jos\, Nigeria.\n\nDmochowski’s surveys were based on research methods which he developed in the context of the interwar “internal colonization” of the Eastern European borderlands. Symposium participants will question his argument about the applicability of these methods for the decolonization of architecture in Nigeria. Speakers will debate how Nigerian educators\, architects\, and scholars have appropriated Dmochowski’s work against the paradigms of modernist architecture and nation-building that he advocated. In this way\, the seminar will foreground differing perspectives on colonialism while undermining the epistemic authority of the former colonial metropoles.\n\nThis symposium is supported by the African Heritage and Humanities Initiative (AHHI) Collaborative Faculty Seed Grant from the African Studies Center at the University of Michigan\, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, and the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia at the University of Michigan.\n\nPROGRAM\n2:00-2:05 pm: Welcome\n2:05-2:15 pm: Introduction: Oblique Histories\, Łukasz Stanek\, University of Michigan\n2:15-2:35 pm: Civilization\, Colonialism\, and the Built Environment in Interwar Poland’s Eastern Borderlands\, Kathryn Ciancia\, University of Wisconsin-Madison\n2:35-2:55 pm: The Unsaid: Performative Architectural History & the Limits of Certain Methods\, Adedoyin Teriba\, Dartmouth College\n2:55-3:15 pm: Demystifying Dmochowski: Found Knowledge and Indigenous Research Strategies\, Warebi Brisibe\, Rivers State University\, Port Harcourt\, Nigeria\n3:15-4:00 pm: Discussion\nPARTICIPANTS\nAdedoyin Teriba is an Assistant Professor of modern and contemporary architecture & urbanism at Dartmouth College\, specializing in modern and contemporary architecture & urbanism\, especially of West Africa and its diasporas.
