Designer as Feminist was a two-day workshop planned for altogether 20 students and recently graduated practitioners in the fields of design and architecture. Our aim in the workshop was to phrase critical questions in order to generate insightful discussion on the overlap of design and feminisms. We strived to collectively come up with tools and ideas for feminist design and architecture practice, and to contribute to the wider discourse on their professional and societal significance.
The workshop took place in the facilities of HIAP (Helsinki International Artist Programme) in Suomenlinna, Helsinki.
