This list has been compiled for UNBUILD: a site of possibility, which considers the impact of buildings on our bodies, our minds, our memories and our dreams. The selected artists use expanded forms of drawing to explore how the built environment represents our dreams and aspirations, cultural and physical displacement and the inequities of our patriarchal society. Titles marked with an asterisk * are held in Outset Study.
