About the series

The series “Feministische Wohngeschichte(n) für die Zukunft. BERLIN, BAUHAUS und DARÜBER HINAUS” (Feminist Housing History(s) for the Future. BERLIN, BAUHAUS and BEYOND) deals with feminist approaches, discussions and practices in architecture, as well as spatial and urban planning, in which gender relations become visible as diverse asymmetrical ideas of living, relationships and professional life. Starting from the pioneers of architecture in the 1920s (focus of the first part in autumn 2019), the second part will discuss the impacts of the second women’s movement on architecture, living, housing and activism to the present in a contradictory globalized economy, presenting feminist and inclusive alternatives for the future. In addition to the exhibition, an event program with a symposium, film screenings, talks and city tours will take place.

“Feministische Wohngeschichte(n) für die Zukunft. BERLIN, BAUHAUS und DARÜBER HINAUS” (Feminist Housing History(s) for the Future. BERLIN, BAUHAUS and BEYOND) was initiated and developed by Felicita Reuschling and is now conceptulized collaboratively by Katharina Koch and Sylvia Sadzinski (alpha nova & galerie futura). It will be continued in spring 2020 in cooperation with Anna Heilgemeir, Dagmar Pelger and Martha Wegewitz (Chair for Urban Design and Urbanization CUD at the Institute for Architecture at the Technical University of Berlin).
Felicita Reuschling passed away in June 2019. The series, of which she was the main initiator of ideas and themes, is to be realized and continued in her spirit and in memory of her as a friend, colleague and astute feminist thinker and practitioner.
