Feminist Architecture Assembly (BE)
Symposium
This assembly brings together different generations of architects, spatial practitioners, researchers and community builders working on the transformation of practice from feminist values.
The current turn towards architecture as an ecological and relational practice is deeply rooted in feminist thought and practice. Feminist spatial practitioners have expanded what architecture can be, weaving together different forms of knowledge and experience. Recent years saw increased attention to the role of previously marginalised perspectives in the discipline.
The intention of the gathering is to build and strengthen connections and to exchange knowledge and experiences. Collectively we craft new narratives for building feminist practice. We discuss how this initiative can develop to build alliances between feminist spatial practitioners and organisations in Belgium.
The assembly is moderated by Evelien Pieters en Apolline Vranken. We build upon past initiaves by the New Institute and IABR (Catherine Koekoek) in Rotterdam.
For this event, we invite people and initiatives working on feminism and architecture. There is a limited number of tickets available for anyone interested to join and we have forgotten to include in our invitations: please email a.vranken@architecturequidegenre.be to receive a personal invitation. We do operate a waiting list and are also compiling a list for a follow-up event.
