Elles Publishing House has announced an open call for applications to join a three-month feminist reading and research group focused on exploring women’s relationship with the city through their everyday experiences in urban spaces.
The group raises questions about how women live in the city, navigate its streets, and experience safety and fear, work and isolation, as well as desire and surveillance.
The initiative adopts an interactive approach that combines reading, viewing, and writing. Activities include reading literary and theoretical texts, watching selected films from a feminist perspective, and conducting small ethnographic experiments within the city. It also creates space for participants to share their daily experiences as valuable knowledge worthy of reflection and analysis.
Meetings will be held every two weeks at Elles Publishing House, with schedules coordinated among participants. The program will also host experts working on topics such as architecture, identity, urban memory, and spaces of negotiation.
By the end of the program, the group aims to produce materials that document participants’ experiences and revisit their presence and movement within the city.
The initiative invites interested applicants to apply via the designated link. The deadline for submissions is Friday, April 10.
