On Thursday 20th April 2023 the exhibition Imagining Public Space with/for Her, curated by Carolina Anderson, Beatrice Ricci and Luisa Bravo, opened at Museo Spazio Pubblico in Bologna, the artistic headquarters of the cultural association City Space Architecture.

It is intended to open a specific topic that intertwines the broader and certainly most debated challenge of accessibility and inclusiveness of public spaces.
