Issue 246 of ARCH+, Germany’s leading magazine for discourse in the fields of architecture and urbanism, is dedicated to contemporary feminist spatial practices. The issue examines how different practices can address the lived experiences of marginalized and invisibilized groups. Beyond the divisions of theory, practice, and pedagogy, the magazine features those who deconstruct power relations and break down barriers. While no single issue can cover the various pioneers and current initiatives that are all noteworthy, part of this issue aims to highlight a significant portion of these with a map that complements the positions presented in the interviews and articles. The map was created as part of the research for the issue, and brings together a selection of important feminist positions and practices from the Western hemisphere. Next to our role models Audre Lorde and bell hooks, Futuress and depatriarchise design are mapped as well—what an honor!
