Kensia Bellevie Klingert

Trained as an architect, Kensia Bellevie Klingert works through spatial practice across multiple scales, understanding architecture not only as the production of buildings but as the ongoing process through which life establishes itself on earth.

Her work foregrounds Black communities, focusing on how space is accessed, shaped, and reclaimed. She explores conditions that enable marginalized groups to find and inhabit space through material interventions, collaborative processes, and frameworks that challenge dominant narratives of ownership, belonging, and visibility.

Moving between design, writing, research, performance and collective action, her practice centers community needs and imaginaries, cultivating relational infrastructures—spaces of support, resilience, refusal and encounter where Black communities can not only survive but thrive.
