Written by Vania Masalías | Translated by Amelia Pérez Bravo
In the field of design and construction, the question of gender is a point of conflict: who has the possibility of building? What are the alternatives for us architecture professionals? These are the questions that Taller General (re)think about. It is from these questions that Femingas, a participatory construction conference with a gender perspective, arose. These are manifested as an alternative to the construction of “mingas”, days of joint work between the members of a community to achieve a common good.
