Communion It is embarrassing to believe. It is terr ifying to care. What happens when we dare anyway? DESCRIPTION:Bio\n\nAlgerian born\, Paris based Meriem Chabani is the founde r and Principal of NEW SOUTH\, an award-winning architecture\, urban plann ing and anthropology practice that puts the margin at the center. Her work on civic spaces\, memory and belonging includes includes the Taungdwingyi cultural center in Myanmar\, the Globe Aroma refugee art center in Brusse ls\, and the upcoming Mosque Zero in Paris. She is currently a finalist fo r the National Slavery Museum in Amsterdam. As an educator\, Chabani has t aught and lectured extensively. She has notably served as Aga Khan Design Critic in Architecture at Harvard GSD (USA)\, and currently teaches at Eco le Paris Malaquais (FR). Her work has regularly been distinguished and sho wcased at a number of international architecture Biennials\, including Ven ice\, Istanbul\, Oslo and Lagos. In 2020 Chabani won the Europe 40 under 4 0 award from The European Centre for Architecture and The Chicago Athenaeu m. In 2023\, she is one of the emerging women architects for AMC. In 2025\ , Le Monde names her one of the leading voices in culture in France.\n\nAb stract\n\nSacred practices are often confined to religion\, yet they can a lso be read as technologies of togetherness\, ways of gathering bodies\, k nowledge\, and memory into forms of collective action that outlast the ins titutions built to contain them.\n\nDrawing on recent work by NEW SOUTH\, this lecture explores how rituals\, communal practices\, and sacred spaces may shape architecture. From shared acts of making and gathering to space s shaped by migration\, displacement\, and diasporic memory\, these projec ts ask how architecture can support forms of solidarity that aren't always visible or formally recognized. Ritual here is also a spatial claim\, a w ay of reoccupying ground for those pushed to the margins\, relegated out o f the mainstream\, and denied formal recognition.\n\nThe lecture will expl ore how rituals rooted in care for land and its resources may offer a diff erent model for building — one grounded in reciprocity rather than extra ction. Architecture becomes less an object that organizes people than a fr amework through which people organize themselves. We may yet belong. We ma y yet forge futures not built on depletion.\n\nPhoto: Religious and Cultur al Center in central Paris\nImage: Lotoarchilab LOCATION:Sidara Auditorium (W41- 1216)\, Cambridge URL:https://www.goingson.co/greaterboston/cambridge/sidara-auditorium-w41-1 216/meriem-chabani-communion-it-is-embarrassing-to-believe-it-is-terrifyin g-to-care--2026-12-03?utm_source=ics&utm_medium=referral END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:f3b0561442a8d09d@goingson.co DTSTAMP:20261110T052556Z DTSTART:20261205T180000Z DTEND:20261205T193000Z SUMMARY:Discover Mount Auburn Walking Tour DESCRIPTION:This 1.5-mile walking tour will focus on stories of history\, m onuments\, and the lives of those buried here.
