What do a medieval writer and a contemporary artist have in common? How do women create cities – in art, literature, and imagination?

In this fascinating text-image book, two extraordinary works come together:

• Christine de Pizan’s “The Book of the City of Ladies” (ca. 1405) – A feminist manifesto of the Renaissance envisioning a city created by and for women.

• Irena Lagator Pejović’s “The Knowledge of the Limited Liability Society” (2009–) – A modern artistic exploration of urban space, society, and ethics.

Accompanied by an introduction from renowned theorist Miško Šuvaković, linking historical and contemporary perspectives, and an epilogue by Elke Krasny, offering insights into artistic-urban practice from a feminist perspective, the book opens a dialogue on the connection between ethics and aesthetics.

In a relaxed living-room atmosphere, Theresa Eschlbeck and Monika Leisch-Kiesl will discuss the contents and exciting perspectives of this book. We look forward to welcoming you.
