It is our utmost pleasure to announce that for this year's assessments, the wonderful Victoria McKenzie will be joining us as our external examiner!
Victoria McKenzie is a Jamaican-Trinidadian Academic-Activist, Research Architect and Movement-Artist currently based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Her work focuses on the interconnections between socio-politics, the built environment and ecological justice. She is the founder and director of an architectural research agency ‘RRA’ Radical Research & Re-storying Agency (2022) which is informed by the question: “how can the pre-colonial past inform a decolonial future?” and has worked on a variety of architectural projects in the Caribbean, Africa, Latin America and Europe. As a radical dreamer and believer that a new and just future can exist, Victoria has worked with a variety of architectural practices and arts institutions such as ICE Institute for Creative Exchange, Cittadellarte, Triennale di Milano, Amisacho Restoracíon, Somerset House, Forensic Architecture, Adjaye Associates and Het Nieuwe Instituut—to connect art, design, politics and ecology. She sits on the board of directors for ‘African Design Matters’ and her most recent joy has been hosting the podcast ‘Kitchen Flex’ which opens the space for a dialogue on decolonizing spaces, places and life on Earth.
