The Outdoors is part of the e-flux series Solicited: Proposals, an effort initiated by e-flux and ArkDes to parse the architecture exhibit, and to untangle and rethink its meaning and its potential for today. For their contribution, Karvesky and Talevi drew upon their own practice as well as a network of intergenerational and intersectional feminists. Moving away from binarisms of inside versus outside, they "asked for concepts, cases, and names that propose an interplay between the exhibiting institution and the outdoors, where practitioners have elaborated on access, inclusion, and other forms of learning."
