FEMINIST* PERSPECTIVES IN ARCHITECTURE
AND SPATIAL PLANNING
We are inviting you to our 2nd filmscreening, with prior christmas punch and a subsequent discussion taking place on dec 12th at 6pm in HS7 at TU Wien!
FemTalks provides a platform for a low-threshold, accessible exchange and discussion, offering opportunities to explore diverse feminist perspectives and theories. The film evenings are open to all and we aim to nurture a culture of understanding and dialogue, encouraging critical thinking and the sharing of ideas.
Engaging with both historical and contemporary feminist perspectives allows us to reflect on our own experiences within different contexts. We hope this initiative builds a supportive feminist network in and around the TU, strengthens self-confidence and self-determination, and challenges the hierarchical structures of academia.
FANZINE : Lorde for Architecture Students
Lorde for Architecture Students
A collaboration between Afaina de Jong, Visiting Professor, TU Wien;
Claiming*Spaces, TU Wien;
Master’s architecture students, TU Wien;
and Brady Burroughs, KTH Stockholm.
As a continuation of the series Feminist Thinkers for Architects, architect/artist Afaina de Jong, in collaboration with CLAIMING*SPACES and master’s architecture students at TU Wien, has developed the second fanzine, Lorde for Architecture Students. Throwing shade at the homogenous selection of thinkers in the 18 current titles of Routledge’s Thinkers for Architects, this publication acts as a comment on- and complement to the original series.
Developed online (w/Covid restrictions) during spring 2021 and concluding with the second CLAIMING*SPACES Conference - Whose History? in spring 2022, the fanzine aims to connect key themes (silence, dismantling, difference, the erotic, anger) from five essays in Audre Lorde’s book Sister Outsider (1984) to everyday situations of the architecture student. It calls for architects and architectural educators to “do the work” to imagine spaces of freedom.
