New City Critics: Monuments, Peripheries & Ecologies

Join the Forum and The Architectural League for the launch of a new publication and conversation with this year’s New City Critics.

Over the past nine months, the New City Critics have been honing their critical voices, bringing fresh perspectives to the way we understand, design, and develop our cities. In their final projects they trace the city’s ecological peripheries, engage in debates over commemorative monuments, and chart innovative methods of neighborhood observation.

Please join us to celebrate the conclusion of the fellowship and the launch of a new New City Critics publication. At the launch, the six fellows will be in conversation and share insights into their experiences and processes.

The 2024-25 New City Critics fellows are Ellie Botoman, Ekemini Ekpo, Daphne Lundi, Anoushka Mariwala, Philip Poon, and Shirt. This event is hosted by a83 and live streamed via Montez Press Radio.
