With the metaphor of A Room of One’s Own, Virginia Woolf depicted the time a woman devotes to herself, not to others. Rooms of Their Own project draws from the documentary, research and artistic process, which focuses on the spaces in which female artists of different generations and genres create on a daily basis. How do they imagine an ideal room of their own? How, under what conditions do they create during a pandemic and the closure of cultural venues?
Before the opening – at 7pm, a round table Rooms of Their Own – first 100 years will take place – also broadcast live online. The modern perception of their own rooms will be discussed by all the participants. Moderated by Tjaša Pureber.
