I went to meet the architect Julian Bonder for this only one question:
How can you position yourself as Architect , Artist and teacher when working on issues directly related to History , Memory and Trauma , as has been the project of public space « Memorial to the Abolition of Slavery » in Nantes ?
During his visit in Nantes in June 2013 for a few lectures at the Memorial to the Abolition of Slavery, a project that Julian Bonder conceptualized in collaboration with the Artist and Designer Polish Krzysztof Wodiczko , I joined the Architect for a visit.
The Memorial to the Abolition of Slavery in Nantes was a long journey of more than ten years , a complex project with difficult questions of all kind ( Ethic, History , Architectural , Artistic , planners, policy).
The Memorial to the Abolition of Slavery in 2012 received a special mention for the European Prize for Urban Public Space .
Julian Bonder is Architect and professor at Cambridge , Massachusetts. He was born in New York in 1961 and grew up in Buenos Aires , Argentina.
In this interview I held a few sentences that Julian Bonder told me in perfect French :
» You can not be the other and take the pain. You can not represent the pain of the other , because you’re not the other «
"The World is a place to be"
