How To Build A Feminist City

About this Event

To celebrate 50 years of Verso Books we bring you Verso Live, a new virtual live events programme. We have selected authors to speak on a wide range of subjects including the future of work, what a feminist city might look like, how our virtual spaces have become the ‘new normal’, and how enslaved West Indian women played a distinct role in slave resistance. These events are free and will be live-streamed to Verso’s YouTube and Facebook pages fortnightly on Thursday evenings UK time, as well as being made available to watch after the event has finished.

Leslie Kern, author of Feminist City, and Shiromi Pinto, author of Plastic Emotions (Influx Press, 2019) join Christine Murray, Editor-in-chief and founding director of The Developer, to discuss how our lives are structured by architecture and the urban, what a feminist city might look like, and how cities can be improved to better accommodate all.
