ABSTRACT

In this contribution I will discuss a recent commission I have received from the City of Sundbyberg and Marabouparken to develop a permanent architectonic intervention in dialogue with the local women of Hallonbergen – a public kitchen. The goal of the project is to add female presence to the public sphere. In a pre-study during the spring of 2016 a mobile kitchen was used as a tool to explore the production of commons in the late modernistic housing area, based around the activity of cooking. We have been testing well-known specific locations in the area: impediments, passages and stairs being temporarily activated by our domestic presence.
