HOW TO BUILD A FEMINIST CITY

"The Feminist City is an ongoing experiment in living differently, living better, and living more justly in an urban world". - Leslie Kern

Jumping off Canadian urbanist Leslie Kern’s book Feminist City, we want to read, listen, exchange ideas with Torontonians throughout the fall/winter 2022 season. Combining theory and practice, global impulses and visionary ideas, together we imagine and build a (model) feminist city in an open thinker & maker process, free and open to all.

Pars Pro Toto: Are You Real?

The Toronto iteration of Pars Pro Toto, “Are You Real?,” jointly curated by Gloria Aino Grzywatz (peer to space) and Jutta Brendemühl (Goethe-Institut Toronto) deals with the push and pull between perception and reality and pokes at the idiosyncrasies in our identities. The stories told consider in particular this digital moment where perceptions are increasingly shaped by AI, social media and other “non-real” or non-human parameters.
