Feminist Nightscapes
Feminist Nightscapes by Claudia Lomoschitz, Elke Krasny and Sophie Lingg is an ongoing feminist urban practice, consisting of collective nightwalks that take place in different neighborhoods and cities since 2020. Structured by scores, songs and movement, participants of the Feminist Nightscapes performances reflect on loitering, community and physical movement in cities at night. Together we practice dimensions of urban justice and to counteract the effects of systemic discrimination and violence on individual bodies. Feminist Nightscapes takes place in respectful memory of and in solidarity with all those who have been fighting for Take back the Night since 1975, and intends to take back the night through collective and public performances and to look at infrastructural injustice as experienced when walking. Where in your town do you rarely go and always wanted to spend more time? Where wouldn’t you go on your own? Who is responsible for maintaining and caring for essential infrastructures at night? Who does not have the privilege to stay at home? What would you like to do with a group during the night?
