Description

Have you ever considered art as a powerful tool to readdress equity in public spaces? In this episode, we’re joined by Hanna Benihoud, an architect-turned-artist whose joyful, intentional public art is reshaping the way we experience our cities. Hanna shares her journey from architecture to establishing her own studio, and how her practice challenges tokenism in co-creation, reframes public art as a fundamental part of regeneration, and sparks dialogue around safety, belonging, and ownership in public spaces. From transforming tunnels and alleyways to spotlighting both the hidden and illuminating lived experiences of women, Hanna’s work sits at the intersection of art, activism, and social value. pushing the boundaries of where architecture ends and art begins.
