MoMoWo -- Women's Creativity since the Modern Movement
MoMoWo’s general aim is to highlight the diverse contributions of women in design professions. By revealing these accomplishments, MoMoWo aims to promote cultural and professional equality and strive toward a gender balanced society.
MoMoWo focuses on contemporary works by European women in the fields of architecture and civil engineering, interior design, landscape design, and urban planning. These fields were, and in some case are, currently perceived as masculine dominated professions. This project tackles this attitude by exposing notable and important works by female designers both past and present.
By highlighting the value that works by women have brought to the world of design, MoMoWo hopes to empower and strengthen future generations of creative women.
MoMoWo hopes to reach innovative practices, design firms, networks, and fellow designers in order to influence the integration of more women designers into this masculine dominated professional sphere.
The world of construction and design is historically a man's prerogative. The history of these professions is a clear and crucial representation of a working environment in which the female gender has been underrepresented and found difficulty establishing herself.
