“Architecture and Feminisms. Without Beginning or End”
Organized by the Instituto Cervantes, the exhibition featuring architects, urban planners, and artists will be on view at the Instituto de Arquitetos do Brasil (IAB) until February 2024
After being exhibited in Porto Alegre and Brasília, the exhibition “Architecture and Feminisms. Without Beginning or End,” organized by the Instituto Cervantes, arrives at the Instituto de Arquitetos do Brasil (IAB) in Rio de Janeiro. The opening takes place on December 6, featuring urban planning, design, and architecture projects presented from a feminist perspective. Curated by Semíramis González, the exhibition features works by Spanish and Latin American creators including Ana Gallardo, Costa Badía, Julia Galán, Col-lectiu Punt 6, Colectivo offmothers, and the projects “Women's New European Bauhaus” (coordinated by Inés Sánchez de Madariaga), “Madrid ciudad de las mujeres” by Marián López Fdz. Cao, and “Musas de vanguardia” by Mara Sánchez Llorens and Luciana Levinton. Architects, urban planners, and artists alike have traveled a long path to reclaim feminist spaces in buildings and streets, prioritizing alternative ways of constructing the world.
Drawing on the words of Italian-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi, the proposal is committed to this “without beginning or end” concept, understanding architecture, urban planning, and creation as a multiple, continuous, intersectional possibility free from patriarchal hierarchies.
