The symposium ‘Emancipation I: Modern Woman – Architect’ covers the emancipatory vision of the modern woman and the emancipatory efforts of the protagonists of the Bauhaus and Functionalism in modernism up to the present day. The topic examines the pioneers in politics, science, art and architecture and these people’s roles, efforts and successes, with examples from the Czech Republic, Germany and Central Europe. For the opening of the symposium Mary Pepchinski will hold a keynote lecture on women architects, professional aspirations and domestic ideals during the Weimar Era, followed by the discussion panel Emancipation NOW and a performance of EBOW.
