DIALOGUES: Leslie Williamson + Mariah Nielson

DIALOGUES: Global Conversation Series

Perspectives on Home · Presented in partnership with Aidlin Darling Design

DIALOGUES is a global conversation series bringing together leading voices across cultural disciplines. Following the inaugural season, Design for the Human Body, the 2026–2027 season, Perspectives on Home, explores home as a concept intertwined with community, kinship, and selfhood — at once intimate and political, shaped by the primal architecture of shelter and invoked as the origin story of architecture and society itself. Across four conversations, this season's speakers offer a rich variety of perspectives on how we design, regulate, inhabit, and imagine home.
