Feminist Spatial Practices: Web Platform Launch Event

Feminist Spatial Practices—a global collective of architects, artists, designers, and scholars—is launching a new interactive online platform that celebrates the diverse ways that people practice feminism in the built environment. The platform offers an interactive new media visualization and a searchable index of 600+ global feminist practices in art, design, architecture, and activism. The experimental design of the platform enables visitors to discover relationships between practices, publications, exhibitions, and protest movements across time, with themes such as “experimental pedagogies,” “alternative materialities,” and “spaces for non-conforming bodies.” The entries for the archive have been collectively produced with input from community members around the world, growing from an earlier research and visualization project published on e-flux Architecture and created for the Chronograms project supported by the Jencks Foundation.

At the launch event, members of Feminist Spatial Practices will introduce the interactive archive, and guest speakers featured within the platform will share their work on intersectional gender equity in the built environment. Fluffy poofs, created during a participatory workshop, will transform the space at e-flux into an environment that invites multiple embodied forms of participation.
