For its second historical conference-workshop to be held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, between 3-5 October, 2016 project Women’s Creativity since the Modern Movement - MoMoWo welcomes papers addressing themes and subjects regarding activities and lives of women designers, architects and civil engineers between 1946 and 1968. The historical conference-workshop will provide the opportunity to share and discuss the professional experiences of European women active within various fields of design. The workshop is addressed to both, scholars and students (there is no registration fee).

In most European countries the period between 1946 and 1968 was marked by intensive rebuilding of the post-war society and its urban spaces. We are particularly interested in how the political and societal shifts of the period affected women active in creative professions.

MoMoWo, Women’s Creativity since the Modern Movement is an EU cooperative research project under the Creative Europe Culture Sub-Programme. Participating partners come from six European universities: Politecnico Torino, Turin, Italy; Université Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble, France; University of Leiden, Leiden, The Netherlands; IADE-U-Creative University, Lisbon, Portugal; Znanstvenoraziskovalni center Slovenske akademije znanosti in umetnosti, Ljubljana, Slovenia; Universidad de Oviedo, Oviedo, Spain.
MoMoWo deals with the cultural, societal and economic importance of women’s achievements in the traditionally male fields of architecture, interior and industrial design, landscaping and urbanism. The aim of MoMoWo is to present an important part of the »anonymous« European 20th century cultural heritage created by women, who were active in these disciplines. The project will also support, promote and adequately asses the achievements of the contemporary generation of female creators and help pave the way for future generations of women in the creative fields.
