Schwarzer Rolli, Hornbrille | Neue Narrative für die Architektur

In the organizer's words:

New narratives for architecture

Lecture and discussion with Karin Hartmann

Karin Hartmann is an architect and author. She writes, speaks and researches on architecture and urban planning from an intersectional-feminist perspective. She regularly gives lectures on the topics of equality and diversity in architecture, planning and building. She also speaks on feminist urban planning and the vision of a built environment that is planned by diverse teams and thus shaped by the realities of many* people's lives.

"An American study recently reported that sexism and racism are so widespread in architecture that there is an inherent aversion to these issues in the industry. How did such an exclusionary work culture come about? Although the majority of graduates in Germany have been female since shortly after the turn of the millennium, cultural changes in the field make it difficult for women to stay in architecture. As a result, many well-trained talents are being lost to planning. In Schwarzer Rolli, Hornbrille, the structural causes that push women - and all other people who are not white cis men - out of the industry are examined from an intersectional feminist perspective. How can teaching, professional discourse and self-image become more diverse? Where is the experience of a pluralistic society lacking in the built environment? How can a change in planning culture succeed?" - Blurb of the book Schwarzer Rolli, Hornbrille (Jovis) by Karin Hartmann

The Architektinnen-Netzwerk from Freiburg invites Karin Hartmann - in cooperation with the Architekturforum Freiburg and the Galerie für Gegenwartskunst im E-WERK Freiburg. Karin Hartmann will give a lecture on her book and its central theses. This will be followed by a moderated panel discussion for joint reflection and exchange on possible paths to a fairer planning culture.
