Convened by Michael Abecassis (Christ Church, University College, & Wadham College, Oxford) & Maribel Peñalver Vicea (Universidad de Alicante)

The event is a presentation followed by a collective discussion of two creative initiatives which aimed at documenting and exploring experimental interventions in the way the everyday life of multi-storey social housing in London and Paris is represented and understood. Interspersing contributions from Paris and London, Multistories, an multi-format essay part of the Urban Pamphleteer series and The Banlieues Network foreground approaches that develop intersections across visual, ethnographic, literary and historical methods.
