Textures of Feminist Perseverance
How might the city be a visual and spatial record and living archive of women鈥檚 daily experiences that could be created in a vocabulary that has not yet been recognized? Specifically, creative structural changes in our physical, virtual, and social public spheres can be made with women鈥檚 safety as well as intellectual and social contributions in mind. Thinking innovatively, these creations may imagine the combination of security and freedom so needed in our civic infrastructure.
With an array of scales and stories, the projects envision how women grapple with problems through everyday practices of mutuality, generative unheroic gestures, and mentorship of the next generation. This work is often achieved through a preoccupation with hands-on and labor-intensive making practices that foreground physical and embodied attentiveness to materials, social gathering, and awareness of time. These projects take myriad forms ranging from large-scale sculpture from unlikely materials, storefront window projects, performances and public gatherings, graphic 鈥榸ines, speculative designs, walking tours, historical research, making archives public, oral histories/ethnographies.
