DERIVA OF COLLECTIVE FUTURES #4

at the National University of Lanús with HAY FUTURA in Out of Register

On Monday, October 20, we began a collaborative project with the women’s design collective HAY FUTURA, within their initiative “Out of Register. Archive, Memory, and Design from a Feminist Perspective”, which seeks to highlight and give visibility to women who have developed their work within the world of design. As stated in their manifesto: “The central objective is to build a feminist and open archive that recovers the overlooked histories of women in Argentine design, enables new narrative forms, and helps reconstruct invisible productive ecosystems.”

To this end, a series of listening sessions were initiated at various public universities, where design departments implemented, in diverse ways, pedagogical and research-based formats to pursue this goal. In these instances, the Escuchatorio acts as both a space for gathering records of these experiences and a repository of conversations through the radio, thereby adding testimonial depth to the project.
