Michael Obrist [feld72] in conversation with Sex and the City - Florencia Andreola & Azzura Muzzonigro

FEMINIST HOUSING

The seminar brings to attention the theme of domestic space rethought as a collaborative space for sharing everyday life, between people who are not necessarily related to each other. Starting from the assumption that the imbalance between the sexes in the performance of domestic work is one of the main causes of gender inequalities, and that it is precisely the isolation of families in their homes that can be seen as a condition that fosters this type of subjection, the meeting will try to recount the home as a place capable of hosting collective forms of reproduction, as the centre of a collective life; a life traversed by different people and forms of cooperation, capable of granting intimate space (a room of one's own) without isolating.


Sex & the City is a social promotion association (APS), founded in 2022 by Florencia Andreola and Azzurra Muzzonigro, which observes cities from a gender point of view through specific projects, public meetings and research projects. In 2021 it published with LetteraVentidue a research developed for Milano Urban Center on the city of Milan, Milano Atlante di genere / Milan Gender Atlas, a mapping on the condition of the city with regard to the daily life of women and gender minorities.
