Feminist Spatial Practices at GSAPP

Please join us for an evening of talks and discussion on the topic of feminist spatial practice with Feminist Spatial Practices and several of its many collaborators: Abriannah Aiken, Kadambari Baxi (Barnard), Lola Ben Alon (GSAPP), Black Student Alliance at Columbia GSAPP, Jennifer Carpenter and Irina Verona (GSAPP, Verona Carpenter Architects), Ignacio Galán (Barnard), Rosana Elkhatib (f-architecture), Jack Halberstam (Columbia), Ivan Lopez Munuera (Bard), Mirea Luzárraga (GSAPP, TAKK), Mary McLeod (GSAPP), Mary Miss, Bryony Roberts (GSAPP, Bryony Roberts Studio), Victoria Rosner (NYU), Hilary Sample (GSAPP, MOS), Anooradha Siddiqi (Barnard), Mabel O. Wilson (GSAPP, AADS)

Feminist Spatial Practices was founded by Bryony Roberts and Abriannah Aiken in 2023. The collective grew from an initial research and visualization project by Bryony Roberts and Abriannah Aiken, which was commissioned by the Jencks Foundation and e-flux for the Chronograms project and published on e-flux. That project was informed by conversations with Kadambari Baxi, Virginia Black, Lori Brown, S. E. Eisterer, Ruo Jia, Jerome Haferd, Lindsay Harkema, Elke Krasny, Korantemaa Larbi, Ana María León, Ishita Shah, Anooradha Siddiqi, Tijana Vujosevic, Alla Vronskaya, Sumayya Vally, and Mimi Zeiger. The project was published with an open call for participation in a new Feminist Spatial Practices collective, and the respondents to that open call have formed this community.

The Feminist Spatial Practices collective highlights and promotes practices in art, design, architecture, and activism that work towards intersectional gender equity in the built environment through creative work and critical scholarship. The collective organizes programming and projects through collaborative working groups. The working group members include: Santiago Alvarez, Abriannah Aiken, Bilge Bal, Layna Chen, Ridhi Chopra, Elizabeth Cox, Cynthia Deng, Elif Erez, Lindsay Harkema, Ruo Jia, Virginia Melnyk, Bryony Roberts, Katie Rotman, Kari Roynesdal, Defne Saysel, Amiti Singh, Ryan Brooke Thomas, and Renske Maria van Dam.
