Spolka: Research and design for feminist futures

Spolka is a non-profit architecture and sociology studio and collective based in Košice, Bratislava, and Berlin.

The lecture will focus on the foundations of Spolka’s practice–the values and positions intertwined with the messiness of lived experience and projects. Looking at (urban) planning from the feminist perspective, the lecture will ask questions such as: How can voices from the margins and peripheries reshape the planning processes we are so used to working within? What does it mean to design with the concept of care in mind? And what tools and methodologies do we have at our disposal for fair and just futures?
