Whither do women architects vanish? What obstacles do they face in their profession, and what emancipatory strategies can benefit them? Who owns public space, and what is feminist architecture? The exhibition comprises art and art historical installations that raise these questions and which address inequalities in architectural education and employment, gender paradoxes from the era of state socialism, and networking of women in architecture. The artistic interventions thematise feminist spatial practices of care that emerge from specific cultural and social contexts, and which entail a diversity of experience, environment, and the body politics.

Pakistani architect Yasmeen Lari, who is devoted to improving the lives of disadvantaged communities by building with low-cost, zero-waste materials, said upon receiving the Royal Institute of British Architects' gold medal in 2023 that "the role of the architect should be more activist". Similarly, since the 1970s, other feminist theorists, architects, and artists have, through their research and work, challenged architecture as an élite environment with no relationship to environmental and social issues. "Feminism is for everybody" (bell hooks), therefore we consider it important to commemorate their legacy and to create a space for sharing and support, for articulating our own experiences, and for exchanging past and present feminist strategies and tools.
