Season 2, Episode 2: On Feminisms and Architecture

Season 2, Episode 2: On Feminisms and Architecture In this episode of Withstanding, we are joined by Lori Brown and Arvind Ramachandran to talk about feminist approaches to architecture. What kind of questions do we actually talk about when we talk about feminist approaches to architecture? What kind of tools do feminist architects and scholars of architecture offer to the field? At the end of the episode, we present a new sound collage by Jonna Karanka, consisting of three previously published sound pieces. The episode is moderated by Tiffany Lambert, Curator of Architecture and Design at the FCINY. Lori Brown is a scholar and architect, and among other things, the co-founder of ArchiteXX, a group dedicated to transforming the architecture profession for women.
