The Funambulist

The Funambulist is an editorial project initiated by Léopold Lambert in 2010, dedicated to the politics of space and bodies. Through an online platform, a podcast, and, most importantly, a bimestrial print and online magazine, it attempts to analyse the political struggles of the world through space and the built environment. Articles, interviews, artworks, and design projects form an ongoing archive for anti-colonial, anti-racist, anti-capitalist, queer, trans, and feminist struggles, providing a platform where activists/ academics/practitioners can meet and build solidarity across geographical boundaries and scales.
In The Laboratory of the Future, for the first time, the totality of The Funambulist’s print publications since inception are assembled, walking the metaphorical tightrope between ‘thoughts’ and ‘things’. Visitors are invited to walk the chronology of the forty-six first editions of the magazine.
