DIG-EQUALITY PROJECT GETS FUNDING

We have spent almost 5 years on a project named DIG-Equality, meaning DESIGN INNOVATION FOR GENDER EQUALITY. Me and Sóley Stefánsdóttir have made a project document that has been used to stimulate some gender driven research and action projects in design and architecture. Will post more about this later.

This project is about gender issues and this week the project received research fund to continue the work that has been done mostly unfunded until now. This funding comes from Aurora Foundation. There is a desperate need for an internet location, website where everything in this field is collected and people can communicate and organize meetings. Below is an image from the Icelandic paper sending out news about the project. I have posted links to some of my projects here and the DIG-EQULITY project publication is here.

From the newspaper posting the news of the fund.
