International Women's Day 2018 events
To mark International Women’s Day 2018, we're presenting a week-long series of events that explore ideas of feminist futures through art and architecture. Join us as we investigate the power of art practice as a catalyst for social change. Focusing on women artists engaged in a variety of media, we'll dissect ideas of automation in architecture, moving image as language, archiving and alternative artistic platforms. Celebrate the RA’s 250th anniversary with us and see what we can draw from the past as a way into the future. Enjoy panels, lectures and roundtables as our speakers contemplate multiple feminist possibilities.
