  5060 5823\nArchizoom\, SG building\, EPFL\, Live stream\n\nOn the occasio
 n of the exhibition Do Not Carry Your Flag Too Low\, Actions from Matrix 
 Feminist Design Co-operative curated by Tiago P. Borges\, Teresa Cheung a
 nd Silvia Groaz\, Matrix member Jane Rendell will give a talk about her wo
 rk within Matrix Feminist Design Co-operative. \n\nAbstract\n\nJane Rend
 ell will explore the work of Matrix in the context of both the development
  of feminist architectural practice in the UK from the 1970s to today and 
 contemporary feminist critical spatial practice today. Jane Rendell will d
 iscuss how feminist architectural practice emerging in the 1970s–80s\, a
 nd associated with second wave feminism\, drew on feminist political theor
 ies of equality and difference to understand how sexism operates in the bu
 ilding industry and architectural profession\, and to set up alternative m
 odes of practice to support women in their roles as makers and users of th
 e built environment.\n\nThen\, she will look at how feminist architectural
  practice of 1990s\, was\, as part of third wave feminism\, explicitly the
 oretical and interdisciplinary\, adopting and adapting feminist concepts f
 rom disciplines outside architecture\, to produce a critical understanding
  of the gendering of spatial and visual representations. Finally\, Jane Re
 ndell will investigate how\, since 2000\, feminist architectural practice 
 has become more activist\, connecting\, as part of fourth wave feminism\, 
 with intersectional concerns and public campaigns such as ‘me too\,’ 
 ‘black lives matter\,’ and ‘extinction rebellion.’\n\nOverall the 
 focus will be on five qualities of feminist critical spatial practice in a
 rchitecture and its concerns with collectivity\, interiority\, alterity\, 
 materiality and performativity.\n\nBiography \n\nJane Rendell is Profess
 or of Critical Spatial Practice at the Bartlett School of Architecture\, U
 CL\, where she co-initiated the MA Situated Practice and supervises MA a
 nd PhD projects. Her research\, writing and pedagogic practice cross femi
 nism\, architecture\, art\, history and psychoanalysis\, and she has intr
