Critical spatial thinking in women's resilience for an inclusive city
Publication . Carvalho, Isabel Cristina
Gender continues to affect how urban spaces are perceived and experienced. Girls and women continue to experience sexual harassment, feel unsafe and conditioned as they live and move in urban environments. Reinforcing the concept "Right to the City" of Henri Lefebvre (1991) and David Harvey (2008), this paper aims to explore the need to promote critical spatial thinking to demystify gender stereotypes, leading to the exercise of active citizenship, able to participate and contribute to the (re)design of an inclusive city. People are social products whose values and beliefs are shaped by society, often perpetuating social practices and norms that promote gender inequalities. It is crucial to enable and encourage critical spatial thinking about women's environment to understand and recognise existing limitations and constraints. The desire for change begins with awareness of the situation in which we live. Several authors refer to critical thinking as fundamental to the empowerment process, pointing out that by exercising critical reflection on the situation, women challenge gender inequality. The exercise of critical spatial thinking also highlights the need for new communication processes that recognise and enhance the importance of showing and share individual perspectives in the use of urban spaces. It will enrich a more active collective voice, increase civic participation necessary to build safer and gender-equal spaces in urban life.
Teaching through community artistic practices in informal urban agriculture laboratory
Publication . Carvalho, Isabel Cristina; Sousa, Raquel Luz; Viana, David Leite; Brandão, Emílio; Morais, Franklim; Carvalho, Isabel Cristina; Duarte, José Pinto; Brandão, Nicolau
The chapter advocates teaching contexts that involve community art practices, framing them as contributing to the collective construction of well-being. Based on an informal urban agriculture laboratory, it suggests approaches for teaching Architecture and Urbanism that explore the pedagogical potential of action research and experimental research methods to structure living spaces regarding proximity, solidarity, intergenerationality, multifunctionality and sustainability. Aiming at social, biophysical, and ecological integration, the promotion of difference and gender equality, and raising awareness of the importance of active citizenship, collaborative processes of co-planning and co-management are developed in implementing plural green urban spaces.
Feminist reflections on digital media art and urban studies for inclusive cities
Publication . Carvalho, Isabel Cristina
This article critically examines the intersection of digital media art and urban studies through a feminist lens to co-create more inclusive cities. It focuses on the potential of digital art practices to stimulate women's active engagement in the critical analysis of urban space, thereby supporting participatory urban design. It highlights the opportunities offered by digital media art practices and how they can address the challenges women face on a daily basis, empowering them to express, create and collaborate freely. The study underscores how digital media art practices can counteract daily challenges faced by women, enabling them to express themselves, create, and collaborate freely. It stresses the significance of artistic practices that inspire critical spatial thinking, inciting women to recognise, challenge, and query restrictive social norms in public spaces. As the digital gender gap is one of the main obstacles to women's participation in the digital plan, we point out examples that simultaneously develop urban interventions for women's empowerment and promote digital literacy. Collaborative and participatory artistic interventions are highlighted, which develop mappings of urban experiences, often invisibilised, showing the importance of data visualisation by gender. The main theories and practices that emphasise the inclusion of gender perspectives in the configuration of cities and a reflection on digital media art interventions within and in urban space are presented.
Digital media art, when integrated into feminist urban studies, shows potentiality for the identification of weaknesses and co-creation of solutions and innovations for contemporary urban challenges.
