DESCRIPTION

Bal Architektek’—think of it like a fancy ball for women architects, but instead of ballroom steps, we’re stepping up to smash those patriarchal barriers in the field! Here’s how we do it:

• We run our Instagram account, highlighting amazing women in architecture and teaching about feminist design.

• We’re not just talk; we do workshops and talks on these game-changing topics

• We also contribute articles to leading Polish architecture magazines like Architura Murator and Nn6t, spreading the femist perspectives on design.
