Emancipatory Practices 

Thursday 20 October, 2022
6:30-8 pm 
LVMH E002 Theatre
Central Saint Martins

Exploring the radical and emancipatory possibilities when women build:

·       Marianna Borel (Brazil) – founder of Arquitetura Na Periferia (Architecture from the Periphery)

·       Winnie Herbstein (UK) – artist, founding member of slaghammers - a women, trans and non-binary welding collective

·       Julia Heslop (UK) – Dwellbeing, Newcastle University

·       Doina Petrescu (France, UK) – Atelier Architecture Autogerée (remote)

·       Marianna Moura (Brazil) – UFMG, TF/TK project (remote)

·       Christine Wall (UK) – University of Westminster, chair.

 In this second session showcasing contemporary examples from Brazil of what Sérgio Ferro described as ‘concrete experiments with the possibilities of emancipatory practice’ Belo Horizonte based Arquitetura Na Peripheria present their work enabling women from the periphery to plan and carry out improvements to their homes. Looking to women who joined the trades in large numbers in the 1970s and 80s, especially in the squatting movement, and to the contemporary example of Slaghammers feminist welding collective (UK) we ask how women’s work in building develops their autonomy and at the same time challenges the industry status quo?
