Byrd, and Hansi Momodu-Gordon<\/p>\n<p>With an estimated 21 million inhabitants, Lagos ranks among the largest cities in the world and is the most populous in Africa. In recent decades, the city\u2019s built environment has expanded exponentially through large-scale land reclamation initiatives, major industrial and luxury development projects, and new transportation infrastructures. This steady growth has transformed and amplified Lagos\u2019s distinctive history as a cosmopolitan hub, and incubator of cultural and technological innovation. Yet such rapid change continues to raise pressing questions\u2014facing cities across the globe\u2014about the impact of urbanization on conceptions of citizenship, the role of information systems, environmental sustainability, and socioeconomic equality. The forthcoming biennial titled, How To Build a Lagoon with Just a Bottle of Wine? will take the city of Lagos as its epicenter and point of departure for a broader investigation into how contemporary art and design reckon with the nature of built environments today.<\/p>\n<p>A range of proposals are welcomed, including those that<\/p>\n<p>Consider how artworks create environments that can be inhabited, or mediate interactions between humans and nature<br \/>\nPropose models for fostering empathy and compassionate approaches to cohabitation in light of urbanization<br \/>\nAddress the impact of architecture and built environments on specific communities, social dynamics, and\/or sensory experience<br \/>\nMeditate on the relationship between cities of today and deeper histories of urbanization and economic exchange<br \/>\nSpeculate on the future role of art and technology in forging sustainable ways of living<br \/>\nAnalyze the effects of urbanization on communication systems and print culture<br \/>\nArtists wishing to participate in the biennial are invited to apply by submitting a complete application form and supporting materials.
