Cityprojections: discussion with Monika Arczyńska and Grzegorz Piątek following the screening of CITY DREAMERS, dir. Joseph Hillel
Language: Polish
Partner institution: City Culture Institute in Gdańsk
Following up on the ideas explored in “City Dreamers”, our discussion will focus on the role of women in the process of shaping attitudes toward contemporary urban planning. The film depicts inspiring female pioneers: architects, urban planners, educators, curators, and activists working with the foremost names in architecture. Are other women following in their footsteps in our times? Join us for this special edition of our yearlong Cityprojections cycle, which features city portraits, cinematic apologia, and urban epitaphs.
