Taking Schütte-Lihotzky’s concepts of the kitchen and domestic life as a starting point, the conference examines historical and contemporary ideas of the kitchen, housing, and social reproduction. The contributions explore the Frankfurt Kitchen in the context of global modernism, its reception and further development, as well as intersectional and queer-feminist critiques. At the heart of the conference are questions of labor, gender, care, communality, and the political dimensions of domestic space.
