SPREADING THE WORD — with Lara Dautun and Rietlanden Women’s Office

Saturday 19 October, from 16:00 | Free entrance

We’re excited to invite you to a public talk as part of Lara Dautun’s residency project, “The Feminist Amateur Library”. The session blends reading, discussion, and collective knowledge, creating room for re-imagining and negotiating dynamic herstories.

Come be part of the conversation!

Lara Dautun, a recent graphic design graduate from KABK, thrives on bricolage, blending texts, images, code, and ideas. She loves collaborating to explore how alternative design, publishing, and archiving practices can drive emancipatory change. Her recent work focuses on feminist and lesbian publishing, and she champions subjectivity, open-source tools, and intersectional feminism.

Graphic designers Elisabeth Rafstedt and Johanna Ehde, known as Rietlanden Women’s Office, investigate collaborative graphic design. Their printed publication series MsHeresies focuses on research into collaborative graphic design practices, circling around the ornament not just as a decorative element, but as a manifestation of specific social relations.

Lara’s residency is made possible thanks to the Makersregeling by the Gemeente Den Haag.
