| Modernist Women Interior Designers and Artists (Ana Tostões, Zara Ferreira, editors) is the first Docomomo Portugal publication, representing the result of the joint Docomomo Portugal and the Docomomo International Specialist Committee on Interior Design (ISC/ID) conference with the same name held at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation on March 7 and 8 2024, in celebration of International Women’s Day. Published by Docomomo Portugal and the Docomomo International Specialist Committee on Interior Design (ISC/ID), the book highlights the multifaceted creativity of women. |
| Covering eight countries across four continents—Portugal, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, former Yugoslavia, Turkey, the USA, Brazil, Tunisia, Mozambique, South Korea, and Hong Kong—the work offers an in-depth look at the contributions of 15 creators: architects, urban planners, artists, educators, women’s collectives, and anonymous citizens. Their perspectives are as varied as their fields of work, ranging from textile design to politics. Modernist Women Interior Designers and Artists is a celebration of the invaluable contributions of women to the creation of a better world, attesting to their influence and calling for the recognition of the full spectrum of voices that enriched modernity’s cultural landscape. The book launch will take place during the parallel events on the 18th International Docomomo Conference in Santiago, Chile. Available soon for purchase via Docomomo Portugal.
