MATRIARCHAL PRACTICES

  • Arnolfini 16 Narrow Quay Bristol, England, BS1 4QA United Kingdom (map)

Black Females in Architecture (BFA) is excited to present the second event in the ‘BFA Learning Mixers’ series, developed in collaboration with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and funded by the RIBA Local Initiative Fund (LIF).

Come join us for a powerful discussion on the impact of Black females in architecture and the importance of matriarchal practices

The upcoming session 'Matriarchal & Female-led Practices,' is a collaborative event between BFA and UWE (University of the West of England). The event will focus on the influence of women in architecture and the lessons we can draw from specifically African matriarchal practices in design. With presentations from BFA members about their ongoing MA Research, Claire Miller about her work in practice, Ann de Graft-Johnson’s reflections on MATRIX, the event will explore how these practices foster more equitable, culturally inclusive, and community-driven environments.

Speakers

Claire Miller - Associate Architect at Askew Cavanna Architects

Ann de Graft Johnson - Senior Lecturer at UWE and previous member and director of MATRIX Feminist Architectural Co-operative
