Feminist Art and Architecture Collaborative (FAAC)
The Feminist Art and Architecture Collaborative (FAAC) is an intersectional feminist research group that labors in the production of new knowledges and pedagogies for art and architecture. FAAC was co-created by Martina Tanga, Tessa Paneth-Pollak, Ana María León, and Olga Touloumi in 2013, and experiments with collaborative writing and teaching, extending and problematizing ideas around authorship and pedagogy. Challenging academic disciplines, the collaborative designed and collaboratively co-taught the course Contested Spaces across three campuses. The group expanded in 2018 for the purposes of the FAAC Your Syllabus workshop. Reprinted in 2022, "TO MANIFEST TK" resulted from the synchronous writing of sixteen participants during the workshop. The group has participated in conferences and moderated panels, most recently at the Feminist Art History Conference in 2023 (“Taking Space: Women, Art, and Architecture”). FAAC’s latest text, “Feminist Telephone,” explores the theme of exhaustion as a feminist problem and is forthcoming in the Journal of Architectural Education.
