A Festival of Feminist Architectural Writing | Re:arrangements and A Revisitation

The Bartlett School of Architecture presents a day of talks and readings exploring the legacies, current practices and future directions of feminist and other experimental architectural writing.

Hosted by Situated Practice MA, and organised by The Bartlett’s Jane Rendell, Polly Gould and Sarah Butler, with Emma Cheatle (University of Sheffield) and Hélène Frichot (University of Melbourne), this event is a celebration of feminist architectural writing with a festival of readings, conversations and discussions exploring legacies, current practices and future directions, and the launch two new publications.

The festival consists of two parts: a day of curated readings and two roundtables around lunch, and an evening of two book launches around a drinks reception. Attendance is free but please register via Eventbrite for either the day, the evening or both sessions.

The evening begins with the launch of Lilian Chee’s Architecture and Affect: Precarious Spaces (Routledge, 2023), introduced by Barbara Penner and culminates in a launch event for the special issue of Journal of Architecture 2024, Jennifer Bloomer: A Revisitation co-edited by Emma Cheatle and Hélène Frichot, celebrating the legacies of the ground-breaking work of Jennifer Bloomer.

The event is funded by The Bartlett School of Architecture.
