An evening talk on Home, Power, and the Hidden Politics of Everyday Space. The Minories, May 14th, 7pm

Have you ever considered how the spaces you live in quietly shape your life?

From the layout of the kitchen to the design of post-war housing, architecture has never been neutral. It organises labour. It structures visibility. It determines who is centred and who is peripheral. It influences who carries the invisible weight of care — and who moves freely through space.

In this powerful evening at The Minories, art historian Solange Gulizzi leads audiences through a historical and emotional journey, tracing how buildings encode gender, class, and power — often in ways so subtle they become almost impossible to see.

Through images, stories, and critical reflection, this talk asks a radical question: what if space is not passive, but active? What if the walls around us have been shaping our roles, our labour, and even our emotional worlds?

This is an invitation to reconsider the spaces you inhabit every day — and to reflect on what it means to reclaim space as an act of agency.

This is not simply a lecture on architecture.
It is a shift in perception.

An intellectually rich and emotionally resonant evening about home, power, care, and the politics embedded in everyday life.

Perfect for anyone interested in feminism, architecture, design, social justice, cultural history, or the hidden structures that shape our daily lives.
