John Bingham-Hall

John Bingham-Hall is a researcher, writer, and cultural organiser based in Paris and Marseille. His current work focuses on the ways how climate adaptation strategies are transforming the cultures and politics of the urban public sphere, engaging critical humanities, creative research methods, and artistic works to address sonic, choreographic, and narrative dimensions of change.

Drawing on a training in music and urban studies, as well as a decade of work connecting arts and urbanism with Theatrum Mundi, he analyses the complex dynamics that shape public life in cities through a series of cross-cutting threads including ecology, infrastructure, sound, movement, culture, and voice. He is Curator of Theatrum Mundi, Researcher at the Laboratoire Architecture Ville Urbanisme Environnement, and teaches at Central Saint Martin’s, EUR ArTeC, and the Paris School of Architecture.
