A Room of One’s Own

Referencing Virginia Woolf’s classic feminist essay of the same name, this project will provide a space for female designers to develop their practice and flourish. This exhibition will also take its title more literally and have a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, dining room and study displaying designs that pertain to various feminist topics and issues. These rooms will feature designs, prototypes and hacked objects that highlight, explore, challenge and inform about aspects of gender roles and inequality. It will be a practical and physical application of feminist theory and concepts, the growing social movement and the experiences of women.

DESIGN Canberra acknowledges the Ngunnawal people as the traditional custodians of the ACT and surrounding areas. We honour and respect their ongoing cultural and spiritual connections to this country and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region. We aim to respect cultural heritage, customs and beliefs of all Indigenous people.
