The Architecture Programme at the RA joins forces with the Het Nieuwe Instituut to celebrate International Women's Day with a debate discussing how to unlock the feminist potential of automation.

Discussing this topic are:

Marina Otero – Director of Research at Het Nieuwe Instituut, where she leads the long-term research project Automated Landscapes; Curator of WORK, BODY, LEISURE, the Dutch Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2018

Nina Power – philosopher and cultural critic, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at University of Roehampton, and author of One-Dimensional Woman and many articles on European philosophy, politics and culture

Femke Snelting – Artist and designer, developing projects at the intersection of design, feminism and free software

Ellie Cosgrave (chair) – Lecturer in Urban Innovation, UCL; and Deputy Director of UCL City Leadership Laboratory

Join our panel to find out whether architecture can harness automation in order to create spaces that allow both men and women, humans and non-humans, to express their full potential.
