C20 Open Mic is back! Returning once again from a hugely popular first run, this event is an evening of short talks by young and early-career specialists in twentieth-century heritage.

Our speakers include:
Mark Bessoudo, writer and engineer
Skye Langmuir, urban designer at Alan Baxter
Laura Bucero Descalzo, urban designer at Broadway Malyan
Krista Evans, postgraduate researcher and Construction Manager at Hackney Borough Council
