A small Futuress satellite in Winterthur

For a few hours on November 26, 2022, Futuress unfolded in a real space! Yes, a physical space! Futuress co-director Nina Paim and long-standing Futuress ally Noemi Parisi hosted a workshop on the self-publishing of feminist zines in Winterthur, Switzerland. The workshop explored one of the oldest examples of feminist publishing in Switzerland: “Emanzipation,” which circulated for over 20 years between 1975 and 1996. As we analyzed the historical documents, we examined the themes, struggles, battles, and victories that affected Swiss feminists in the past. The workshop marked the start of the exhibition “The Bigger Picture: Design–Women–Society,” which takes place from November 2022 until May 2023.
