Praxxis, a feminist architectural research collective at the Manchester School of Architecture is pleased to host the screening of She Draws She Builds with RIBA NorthWest alongside many other events celebrating International Women’s Day on March 8th 2018. She Draws She Builds is a short 30 minute film which documents the experience of women architects and aims to acts as a platform to inspire young women and girls to explore architecture as a career. This Manchester screening forms part of the RIBA programme running simultaneously across multiple regions, including the London, East Midlands, Yorkshire and the North East, in celebration of International Women’s Day.

By using the feminist tactics of badge making and the sharing of knowledges PRAXXIS will also be giving away 100 great readings of architectural feminist texts as badges and a booklet. We encourage you to wear the badge, discuss the film and that the act of wearing the badge will trigger conversations about challenging perspectives in our chosen disciplines and practices.

Free -- all welcome!
