Intersectional Feminist Space can only be created through Intersectional Feminist Process, Building the Survival Lounge. The Design-Build Workshop, Summer 2020
Building the Survival Lounge
Building the Survival Lounge inspired by the Survival Library. Design-Build Workshop, Summer 2020
Teaching took place in spaces – both digital and analogue – designed to give students a grounding in the theory of intersectional feminism and the practice of feminist participative teamwork. This was achieved by combining the development of common ground for teamwork with individual assignments through which each student developed their individual feminist position. Referencing Kimberlé Crenshaw’s concept of intersectionality, we recognize that each of us lives with a unique set of intersecting discriminations. Students found their voices to express their own feminist stance. Voice here is not always acoustic – it can also be through other media.
