Feminist City
Safe Spaces Conversation #4
In a series of four talks, we discuss the various topics that are central to the exhibition Safe Spaces – The Right to Space in the City. In this final talk we talk with representatives of the Barbican, and curators and contributors to Safe Spaces on feminist practice and activism.
Simultaneously with Safe Spaces – The Right to Space in the City at Arcam, the Barbican in London hosts the exhibition How We Live Now: Reimagining Spaces with Matrix Feminist Design Co-operative. There are many similarities between the two exhibitions. In this zoom webinar we talk with representatives of the Barbican, and curators and contributors to Safe Spaces on feminist practice and activism.
This talk will link historical feminist claims to space to contemporary claims, and to find out how results or ideas from the past might be relevant and helpful today.
